Can’t leave the house

My 13 week old screams every time I put him in the car, the pushchair, the baby carrier and the sling. Every time I try and leave the house I make it to my drive before he is screaming and crying. Has anyone else experienced this? I feel so trapped in my own house.

My little one is exactly the same, I/ we can only go out if both of us are here. Hoping it gets better the older they are x

Have you tried wearing them for a while before stepping out? 🤔 Only thing I can think of.

My little one loves the pram when it’s moving but hates it when it’s stationary. He can be a bit aggy when we first put him in the pram but after a minute of walking he’s asleep. I’ve purchased a baby Einstein sunshine, a very overactive bright light toy which I put on for the few minutes while I put shoes on and leave the house. That distracts him enough until I’m moving. It can be hard but the pram journey gets so much easier past the driveway!

My lb is hit and miss. I take lots of toys to distract and when that doesn’t work I literally carry him down the street in my arms if I have to 😂

Mine is the same. He hates the pram, which makes me sad. I've started timing it so that I take him for walks in the same wake window. I put him in around 10 mins or so when my app says he's due to sleep so he's awake but tired and I give him a dummy. I've only been doing this for the past 2 days, but it seems to be helping! Yesterday he stayed awake for 20 mins without crying and then fell asleep. Just need to work out how to get him to not scream when he wakes up! I'm also trying to do his day naps in the bassinet so he just gets used to being in there a lot.
