DD wants me to hold her while I'm standing up, especially when she is tired or upset. It's not enough that I hold her, I have to stand up. I don't have to move about or rock her. I just have to stand. WHY?
What difference does it make to her? How does she know when her eyes are closed? I've tried to sneakily sit down while holding her and she knows immediately! Can anyone shed any light? |

DS was the same, so was many of his little other friends at that age.
Maybe because we are swaying when we stand, im not sure. |

No but very interested in any responses. I have a 14mth old that does the exact same thing. god its awful when you're tired and have a choice between crying/screaming baby and standing up.

OP, my daughter was doing this out of the blue. I took her to a Chiro and her hips were out of alignment. It was the result of a fall, but after an adjustment she stopped doing it.

DS goes through stages like this too, usually when he is very overtired. 2 days this week I barely sat down all day, the second I would - he would scream. I have no idea what the deal is, but it is very frustrating, especially with a bad back

yep, DS does this - I can be holding him just as upright while sitting, but it's not good enough.
I assume he just doesn't want my butt to get fatter than it is

Mine was the same. Then it changed to I had to be moving.
So I popped him in the sling and moved around, then when he had drifted off I would s-l-o-w-l-y sit in a chair that swiveled. HAhaha! Got him. |

Yep, babies just know. No resting on your laurels, mum! I've put a bar stool in the nursery and I can sometimes sneakily go from standing to sitting if I keep up a sway. But there's definitely no sinking into a comfy chair allowed.
I was thinking today that I needed some better cushioned slippers cos my poor feet are so sore! |

Hah ha, I think they are all the same. A good rule is - if you are comfortable then they are not happy
