If a baby suddenly refuses to hold her, mom and dad will be confused.
But that is a stage of growth that many babies show. Take it calmly and say, "That time has come."

Does the baby not want to hold him?

Speaking of babies, I love holding moms and dads! That's the image, right?
It may seem surprising that such a baby doesn't want to hold her.
But in fact, it's not uncommon. Don't be shocked if you try to hold a baby and make a gesture that refuses to you.

It is common for people to start to show reluctance to hold them when they are around 3 to 4 months old. It's about time that your neck is sitting and you'll have enough strength to support your head on your own so that your head doesn't wobble.
Sometimes trying to use your whole body to refuse to hold someone is part of your growth.

How do you know that you don't like it?

If you start crying when you're holding them for no reason, such as hunger or dirty diapers, there's a high chance that you don't want to hold them.

The most common type of case is that people reluctant to hold one side.
Until your neck is held, the main focus is to hold the baby sideways with the baby lying horizontally. Holding your body vertically requires you to support your unstable head, which requires more attention.
However, at some point, the baby itself begins to cry because he doesn't want to hold her side.

They may also resist holding them by tightening their legs, arching their backs, twisting their bodies.
There are several reasons for this "curve" behavior, one of which is the appeal that you don't want to hold them.
It can be warped with a strong force that you wouldn't imagine from a baby's small body, and can be a bit chilling. Be especially careful when holding them at a high position.

Why do you hate to hold someone?

One reason is that I don't like the way I hold them.
In addition to not being able to hold someone beside her, she can also cry when she is unstable and puts unnecessary strain on her body, or when someone who is unfamiliar with her hold her timidly and feels nervous.

Babies have a higher body temperature than adults, so when they are held, they feel hot and sometimes displeased due to discomfort.

It can also be caused by being indoors all day less irritated and bored.
As your bone structure becomes stronger and your muscles become stronger, you start to feel like you want to move, and in some cases you may not like being held in a tight position.

There are many reasons why people don't like holding them. Observe the situation carefully, find out the cause, and deal with it.

What should I do if I don't like it?

The first thing you want to try is to change the way you hold it.

If you start crying while holding your baby side, if you don't think it's unpleasant, such as being full, having a beautiful diaper, or being hot or cold, you may not like how you hold your baby. In that case, simply hold it vertically and you will be able to stop crying perfectly.

Holding each other in close contact can help your posture become stable and calm. Be careful not to let your baby's arms and legs stretch out completely, and keep the position naturally bent with the arms in a W shape and the legs in an M shape.


Many babies don't like holding them with their bare hands, but they are still being held quietly by using a baby carrier. You can hold your mother and father in a stable position while being moderately close to her and in a stable position, so you'll feel at ease.
Even if it's not good to hold someone face to face, it can be a joy to hold them in a positive mood.

If you walk while holding it in your arms, you may feel relaxed by the rhythmic vibrations. When I walk outside and see the scenery changes, I sometimes get distracted and stop crying.
Just a gentle tap on your back can calm you down, so we recommend that moms and dads first relieve their impatience and tension and face the baby in a relaxed mood.

Don't worry if you don't like holding him?

A baby's reluctance to hold a baby is not only caused by physiological discomfort, but also can be a sign that due to muscle and brain development, they are eager to move their bodies, see things they are interested in, and have begun to feel willing to hold them. It's a stage of growth, so in most cases there are no need to worry.

If you really don't like it, you can also choose not to force yourself to hold him.
You can also breastfeed while lying down, and just touching them while sleeping together will allow you to communicate well. You can use a stroller when going out.
Don't get too concerned about it, try looking at my child's style together.

However, if you not only refuse to hold them, but you also don't stop crying or arching frequently without a reason to think of them, there is a possibility of some kind of health problem.
Observe changes such as complexion, whether or not you have fever or vomiting, swelling of the joints, and check the frequency and strength of the arching, and if you are worried, consult your family doctor.
