“Spoiling baby”

So I’ve been round family to day and my grandma said to me that I’m “spoiling my son” because he’s has separation anxiety and will cry at anyone else but me and his dad. I just don’t understand how you can spoilt a baby? It’s make me feel really crap about myself as a mother

I mean it’s disgusting that you are showing your child love and affect in a way that is suited to him 😉

There’s loads online but this nhs Scotland page and unicef pamphlet is quite good ( I googled them now for you 😆). https://www.nhsinform.scot/ready-steady-baby/early-parenthood/getting-to-know-your-baby/developing-a-relationship-with-your-baby https://www.unicef.org.uk/babyfriendly/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/04/happybaby_leaflet_web.pdf

Totally agree with the other ladies! Just ignore. I’m sure your gran thinks that she means well when she says that but that mindset and advice is very of that generation. Loads of research has been done since then that shows you cannot spoil a baby with love, care and affection. Research also shows that a baby/child who is supported and given attention when they cry etc grow up to be confident and also this care will help them to self regulate better as an adult. You are an incredible mother and absolutely doing the right thing. Arm yourself with the right info and share this new and healthier way of thinking with your gran. Your gran may not agree but hopefully she will respect your choices, for your child x
