Not cuddely… why?

[Anonymous]

My little one will only allow me to hold him, he dont want anyone else to hold him or he screams… BUT he never wants to cuddle… sometimes i just wanna hold him and craddle him and cuddle with him and kiss him but he dont want to he always pushes aways… hes been like this from the get go… did your little one ever experience this as well? My DS is 6 months old…. Heck he wont even fall asleep in my arms only in his bed… i mean thats a good thing but sometimes i wanna love on him, if you know what i mean… ( like cuddle )

My little guy is like that too. Especially now that he can crawl. But even when he was smaller, he hated cuddling. It’s just my guys personality.

My 1st son was like this… never wanted to rock, cuddle, etc. He’s now a super cuddle bug (2yo) & I think started to do this around 18-20 mths old.

YES! YES! and YES! That was totally my daughter! She NEVER wanted to be rocked or cuddled. She would want to be held, but she wanted to be upright so she could wiggle and look around at everything.

I still remember clearly reading a response from a mom on here who said she cuddled more with her daughter from 18-36 months than she did from 0-18 months. I held out hope that it would be the same for us. IT WAS!!! Sarah is a huge cuddle bug now. Sounds also like what Erin said about Brodie too!

Hailey was like this. She pushed away and didn’t want to be held, but wouldn’t let me put her down either. Turns out it was her reflux. She was so uncomfortable that she couldn’t sit still or just comfortably be held. I had to walk her around, sshing and bouncing until she finally resisted and would fall asleep upright on my shoulder. That was the only way she could be held. No one else could hold her either. Sometimes it seemed like she was fighting me, pushing away, arching, crying. I knew it was the reflux, but it was still hard.
