Wow very interesting, amazing how natural instinct works and in some cases is against what people recommend (like standing up to have my 3rd against the requests of the midwives, was the easiest birth ever; gravity).

Yep I’ve tried the sitting down rocking when I’m desperate for a rest but they know when your butt hits the chair.

Natural instincts just kick in.

This is my son 100%! he is stuck to me like glue

My Son is like this. Happy if im standing but when I sit down he becomes upset and unsettled. Sometimes mummy just needs a rest but baby isnt having it.

It’s interesting how you quickly adjust and find the groove.

I was visiting friends and baby had an upset tummy ( a lot of wind which was obviously painful as he was pulling his legs up like babies do when they have tummy pains). When one of us walked around with him in our arms he settled down and went to sleep at one stage. I thought, great, I can sit down. Within a couple of minutes he was awake and crying again. Apparently they like the warmth of your body against their tummy

So – it’s inborn for both mother and baby? Interesting.

There’s definitely something about standing with the baby that calms them for sure! Interesting

I usually stood and moved and rocked. The movement seems to be the calming element, not just the standing up
