Spoiled?

No, I don't think that it is possible to spoil a child that is as young as your baby is. I feel like when a child is that small, they really do need their parents or other caregivers to bend to their every demand. As an infant so small there is nothing that they are able to do for themselves. However, as your baby gets a little big older, then you will have to back up just a little bit from bending toward their every whimper. It sounds to me like you are a great parent.

Hi, wallacb3. No, certainly not. For me, this is not spoiling your child. You are doing right because you response immediately to your baby's need. He needs to feel secured at this young age and he only wants from parents! You are showing your love to him in a right way. For me, spoiling a child is like buying toys for him whenever he wants...stuff like these, i would say the child is spoiled. Don't worry, just do it when you feel it's right. Don't let others influence you as a mother. Have a nice day and happy mylotting.

When my frist son was born I loved to set and hold him watching him sleep. I'm glad that I did because they grow up so fast and if or when you have other children you just don't have the time. My grandfather always said you can't spoil babies with love. They become spoiled when they get older and you give them every new toy or gadget that comes long. You spoil them when you fail to teach them manners and give into every time they cry. But as infants they can't be spoiled. Just trust your own instincts because God gave them to you and if you keep your eyes open you will know when your child is becoming spoiled. Just love and enjoy him for now.

hi wallacb3 no not at all, babies are born for loving and caring for,and enjoying. they depend on mom for every thing and why should she not enjoy holding and caring for that precious little one. she needs baby and baby sure needs her too. at ten weeks she wont be spoiled just loved by mom and dad,just as nature decreed it to be. I bet your own parents cuddled and picked you up as soon as you cried, maybe they have forgotten that. I think grandparents should stick to grandparenting and not interfere with the raising of your precious little one at all.

I sure don't agree that you are spoiling him. What you are doing, is reassuring him that when he needs you, you will be there for him. Babies have one means of communication at this age, they whimper and they cry. Nothing is more important to a little one than the feeling of security, that's what you are providing for him. Newborns are not capable of manipulation, nor can they have ulterior motives. Besides this is your baby. This won't be the first "helpful" advice you will get thrust upon you, take it with a grain of salt and a smile..maybe even tell them you appreciate their unsolicited and frequent advice, and keep right on doing what you want to do anyway. Congratulations and good luck.
