Am I wrong for not wanting my newborn to sleep in the same room as me? I just don't want him to get…

Not wrong it's your preference. I tried it with my first but it ended up just being easier to put a bassinet in my room until he wasn't waking up as much through the night.

When I mention it to ppl they be looking at me like really? Maybe its the way I put it. I plan on letting him cry it out sometimes instead of spoiling him and picking him up every time he cries also. That is my biggest reason on putting him in his own room @momx2

I don't think you can spoil a newborn by picking him up and tending to him. Now a toddler maybe.

it's whatever you want to do. my first and second stayed in there own rooms and my thrid we have in a room with us but going to move her in with her sisters soon cause the baby going to go where she was. lol

id let my kids cry it out but after I made sure they didn't need anything or nothing was wrong

Thats what i plan on doing. after I check on him of course

@momx2 it is possible..wher me I am from we call them "lap babies" meaning that you can't make a move without them crying if they can't see or you not holding them

I'm doing the same thing. I rather not start a habit instead of breaking a habit later on I'll be watching mine from her baby monitor

crying it out hurts the child. theres nothing wrong with spoiling as long as you set boundaries. new borns need to feel secure and loved. imagine coming out of a secure womb hearing your mother everyday and now into a world of air with so many noises sights and lights. its a scary world. babies don't cry in order to manipulate they cry to ask for help.

toddlers are the ones who needs to be spoiled lesss and learn to be independent. a newborn is not an independent being. a toddler can talk a baby is defenseless, a newborn can't move and change position because it is uncomfortable or scratch an itch or say i have a tummy ache. a babys cry is a signal.

please research before being convinced of following the "traditional crowd". just because something has been done over and over again doesn't mean it is the best and healthiest for the child.

Camping out: a technique where parents sit or lie with their babies while comforting until they fall asleep and gradually extract themselves from their children’s sleep space.

i am pretty sure my momma let me cry it out and i turned out fine. Not sure how letting the baby cry after I made sure he is fine is hurting him. @yahuahsdaughter

if you will read the articles you would understand but i respect your opinion

its not gd to let a baby cry that young and thing can happen and ur the one that gone to get blame for it

like what

I did child psychology and according to data you cannot spoil a newborn because they need to develop that trust mistrust and seeing that they've been in the womb for 9+ months they need that mothers warmth (in arms) at least for the first stage of l

Life. I used to think before that too much hand or picking up is not good for the baby because we think we "spoil" them but it's actually the opposite. Now when they get older in my opinion, once you're fed, cleaned and safe you can cry for a bit. But that's just me. @quansmom2016

@yahuahsdaughter, thanks for article

I studied psychology also. I said I just didn't want my baby in the same room as me and not that I was going to neglect him.
