they say you can't spoil an infant is that true because my lo is 7 weeks and he doesn't like being put down and can only fall asleep in my arms to be put to bed. plus he's so fussy lately. he's also going through a growth spurt at the moment I'm sure of that now.
that's not too say I can't put him down without him fussing he can sit for a good 20 minutes without wanting to be held but that's it.
But if you're comfortable with keeping him in yours arms all the time go for it!
I put mine down because I can't emotionally handle it but if you can by all means pick him up and hold him whenever you want to.
I think you can...
mine is 4 weeks and he cries if you put him down at all.
he will literally be dead asleep and then as soon as you lay him down he's up screaming. it got to the point where I have to just let him cry.himself to sleep or else I won't be able to get anything done or take care of myself either.
@damiensmommy2015, @queendavis thanks its not that I don't except advice I just don't like the way they tell me thing cause it sounds like them saying I'm doing things wrong. but I do listen to advice and im open to it but in the end I gotta do right by my lil prince.
just ignore everyone. that's what I gotta do. my son is six months old and people tell me im spoiling him because I pick him up whenever he wants. I do whats best for me and him and ignore everyone else.
Yes girl do it :) my son just turned 18 months and I can definitely tell how the whole spoiling thing kicks in at this age! They start to get rotten if you give them their way now! Lol but just enjoy that baby and don't stop loving on him :)
@mdomke22, i m going to and I'm gonna enjoy it too! I gotta just learn to tune ppl out and do what I think is best. @queendavis I'm gonna use that time up I absolutely love holding him and loving on him
It's been proven that you can't actually "spoil" a child to where it affects them until they're the age of 18 months old. So you're good for a while ;)
yes girl hold that little precious as long as you can! my daughter won't even cuddle anymore :( I miss her laying on my chest for like almost 2 hrs sometimes during the days. tell them to leave you tf alone! love on him all you want
@mdomke22, plus he's my first and my only for a little while so shouldn't I be able to give him as much attention as I want
@firstbaby_girl, sometimes I wish he would have came with a manual lol. I love holding him but I feel like everyone's putting a set of rules over my head like if you do this this and this it'll be better than what you do.
your baby is 7 weeks. that's too young to let them cry it out. you hold him whenever you want. he's yours. around 6 months or a little after is when they start getting needy. you'll know when he starts. when he really starts showing the signs then I wouldn't go running to pick him up every time he cries . unless its for a good reason like feeding changing or he got hurt
@damiensmommy2015, okay Im never sure because everyone around me is always saying something
@firstbaby_girl, sometimes I just wanna hold him for a bit sometimes he just wants to be held but his Papaw says he's spoiled and I should let him cry it out. but why would I wanna inflict that kind of thing on my baby. I can't just ignore him it hurts him and me. but how do I keep him from becoming to spoiled whens he's older?
Def normal hun for 7 wks. I honestly belive you cannot spoil baby's when they are that young. after 6 months lol that's a different story..for me anyway.
I held my daughter whenever she wanted me to or whenever I wanted to when she was that young. spoil them as much when they are that young. when they start getting older like around 7 months is when they start getting needy.
@ashm141, I'm slowly figuring out ways to keep him from crying when I put him down but I'm not fit sure if it'll with everytime
