(In the pram)
Silly question, I know, but I want to know if I am not the only one doing this!!!
My 8 week old DS likes to wake after 45 - 50 min sleeps during the day and gets sooky after a few minutes in the rocker, under the play gym or in my arms, so I put him in the pram (bassinet part) and take him around the house with me while I clean, hang clothes, look on the computer etc! I have to keep the pram moving otherwise he cries...!

Im still doing this with my 8 month old!!!!
its only gotten worse as he he has got older :crying:
I put DD (7 months) in her pram and wheel her round the house with me while I make the beds, do the dishes ect. She's loves watching me do all the housework and it's nice for her to have a change of scenery every now and then. I put her in the pram and take her outside when I hang the washing out too, she loooves being outside. :)
I used to wheel DD around in her cradle (it is a big wodden one with casters on the bottom) while I was doing things in the house.

I did this with DS1 but DS2 and now DD will only be held so it was in the sling for DS2 and DD will either go in the sling or the swing if she's content enough in the afternoon and a little sleepy. I think I stopped using the pram for DS1 at around 9 months when he was more mobile.
In short, you are not the only one.
Yes, I do nearly every day!

Nope.. Ive never brought Ds around the house with me. I don't see anything wrong with them staying in a different room, im usually coming and going non stop.

No way!!
Id spend more time moving them, than doing something.

Same here! She likes her alone time as much as I do.
I only do if DS is unsettled. Usually he will be under his play gym or in his swing on his own, but when unsettled I have to.
