Baby hates pram

Anyone got any tips on how to get baby to like walks out in the pram?? My 4 week old just cries the whole time we go on a walk which is making me just not go out 😩

My baby done this also, I think because she was linking it to sleeping and hated laying flat.. she’s 16 weeks now and absolutely loves going walking because we changed the pram attachment to the sitting up one.. we changed it 3 weeks ago and she’s been fine going walks ever since. Nothing more frustrating though, I feel your pain xx

Mine did this was a combination of reflux lying flat and being unable to see out. Was loads better with the hood flat back or with a soft book propped up xx

Yea pretty normal for babies to hate the flat laying section of the pram so we never used it. Ours did too but is much happier in the more upright strapped in attachment but she is 7 months now. Is baby wearing a possibility for you at all? At 4 weeks she will still want to feel close to you so she’d likely be happier, but I understand it’s not an easy option for everyone.

We used a little donut head pillow when she was tiny because she was getting rolled about in the bassinet.

Our LO hated the pram. Like @Ashlyn she had reflux and hated lying flat and also (as she got older) just wanted to see out! We used the car seat on our pram wheels for months with her until she was big enough to sit in the seat part of the pram. It made such a difference!

I suspect my little one has reflux but because he's only 4 weeks we can't try anything (also I know things like infant gavison can cause constipation) so I'm on one hand hesitant to get something for the reflux and then on the other I want something to help the reflux. I have considered baby wearing but I've got the fear I'd trip. How did you all manage with just using the car seat attachment for walks? I live by the sea so it's usually always windy/rainy x

I found the car seat was quite cosy for our LO cos it fit quite snug around her.
