Picking up the baby

You can hold your baby as much as you please ☺️ you’re not spoiling her! In the first 8 weeks you need to focus on feeding and providing comfort and if you holding her provides that, then that’s what you have to do!
I’ve just had my third baby and believe me, you’re not setting yourself up for anything other than unconditional love and being their forever safe place 🥰 hope this helps x

I don’t believe in what your partner is saying. You follow your natural instincts. You are setting them up for secure love ❤️ fyi I snuggle my baby all I want lol

Don’t listen to the noise. Soak it up. My second baby who is also six weeks is exactly the same and I’m enjoying every second of it as time flies! My first is little miss independent now and comes to me for the odd cuddle. 😞
People should learn to keep what they say to themselves.

My father in law said the same thing and I rolled my eyes. 🥊

No no no. You CANNOT hold the baby too much. You’re not spoiling them with your love. You can’t give them “too many” cuddles. You are not setting yourself up. You are doing what we as mothers are designed to do! Caring for your baby!!

You’re doing amazing. X

My boyfriend and his family tell me the same thing. I repeat that she’s a baby and I can do what I want lol

Hold her as much as you like and enjoy it. My 2 year old barely lets me cuddle him now ..he doesn't sit still so soak all the cuddles up. I'm doing that now with my 8 week old. It definitely doesn't 'set you up ' it just leads to a secure and well loved child x

Hold your baby as much as you want! She’s YOUR baby!!! Xx

Baby’s love wen the mum cuddle them because they know they are loved my baby who 10 months old she love wen we cuddles and before my boyfriend goes work she cry’s if he doesn’t cuddle her before he goes work

You can’t “spoil” or “create bad habbits” babies at such a little time 4-8 weeks a baby start to realise they are no longer in that safe snuggly pool they need you to comfort them they need your heart beat and warth to feel secure to help their nervous systems calm down, I went nuts at both my partner and mum for trying to tell me im molly coddling my baby I let my partner struggle to settle our baby once then went in gave my baby a cuddle and instant settle, a baby doesn’t realise why it’s suddenly bright and cold and noisy they know your scent your warmth your heart beat and that all they’ll look for, as well as food and changing of course i co sleep with my baby and even if he’s to hot for cuddle he just likes looking my direction and I hold his hand to comfort him(sorry border line ranting rlly winds me up when someone wants to tell a mother what to do mothers always know best)
