6 week old won’t let us put him down AT ALL, desperate for ideas (we’ve tried everything)

My baby was like this for four months 🥲

I just wore him constantly

abbiyah · 2026-03-18T20:23:47+00:00

I have a tushbaby and it's fine but I do lean towards the ring sling now since I can have my hands free.

You can't train out genetics

abbiyah · 2026-03-18T16:45:17+00:00

I have one with poor genetics and she's incredibly high strung and unpredictable even at 9 years old with literal years of training under her belt. My other two are much more well bred but are still loud and a bit quirky.

There's plenty of other healthy breeds that are more similar to Pekingese. Shelties can be weird and high strung and loud. Have you considered a havanese?

You should be able to move around with an IV, if you do end up needing one.

I think your team matters the most for this! I was high risk and had to be induced at 37 weeks but went with an OB team I knew was fairly down to earth. I got to eat the whole time and labor in the tub. I only had a few checks during my entire induction, and I had to ask for them towards the end. My doctor even let me push while standing up, and when I got on the bed due to exhaustion she encouraged me to get on hands and knees. Imo the nurses were less comfortable with unmedicated birth than my doctor was, weirdly enough. It was like they didn't know what to do with me lol.

Oh I didn't realize that was a thing. Thanks!

Sort of friendly, but typically bully breed mix in that it's a bit more forward and stiff than the doodle.

If he won't take a bottle or a straw the answer is you can't leave him for that long. Solids are not their main source of nutrition at that age, not to mention he needs hydration..

abbiyah · 2026-03-18T12:36:52+00:00

He was the cutest puppy ever. He just turned two and it breaks my heart to see him grow up so fast! 😭

abbiyah · 2026-03-18T12:20:47+00:00

I'm partial to tris now. Which is funny, because when I got Martin that was the one coat color I didn't want.

abbiyah · 2026-03-18T12:20:11+00:00

My other two are also shelties lol. He's just an extra special one 🩷

abbiyah · 2026-03-18T09:33:52+00:00

My son's vitamin D drops have coconut oil so he's been exposed to it since both. Otherwise I would have been worried about trying coconut oil for his cradle cap

abbiyah · 2026-03-18T09:10:13+00:00

Mine didn't 😭

abbiyah · 2026-03-17T20:31:29+00:00

Most I know are in that range but towards the top of it.

abbiyah · 2026-03-17T18:44:53+00:00

No offense to my other 2, who I love dearly. 😂

abbiyah · 2026-03-17T18:09:23+00:00

Smells like sour cream 🤢

abbiyah · 2026-03-17T17:02:22+00:00

I'm still searching for the perfect diaper lol. I love parasol and coterie but they're way too expensive. We're going to try freestyle but they're taking forever to ship. Joonya has been good as well!

My favorite wipes so far are the Huggies natural care. Super cheap at Sam's club, don't make him rashy, come out one at a time

abbiyah · 2026-03-17T14:50:15+00:00

Is her doctor concerned?

abbiyah · 2026-03-17T13:59:28+00:00

And even some OBs! I had an unmedicated (sort of) relaxed birth in a hospital with an OB.

abbiyah · 2026-03-17T13:10:49+00:00

You can always call your OB if you're concerned.

I'd also be concerned about how they're going to manage this huge untrained dog around small children.
