Bad Habit!!!!!!!!

Imo you can spoil babies!!

It's just like anyone they get into habits and then trying to break them is a nightmare.. My sister never really got my neice into a routine as such when she was little (long story) and now chloe is 6 and still a nightmare to go to her bed!

Getting them into a routine as early as possible is generally the best thing to do if you can.. I'm certainly going to try and do that.

A girl I use to work with did that and her son is still into it and he doesn't really act bad at all,of course I only started to know him when he was like 5 so. . .I imagine it's hard though!

First off I dont pick my son up everytime he cries and he never went through seperation anxiety another thing that could be going on is colic!!!


I never said that all kids are bad but .Tess here explained it abit better babies pick up bad habits try getting rid of them its pure hell!!!3

now everyone know my opinion so im not going to write it but I learned with #1 on how to deal better with certain sitiuations so #2 came abit easier with some things and this kid sleeps amazingly cause sometimes they need to cry alone/comfort themselves. Its doing it hilarious the nurse here tell to pick up baby everytime he cries but the they tell you to let them cry on their own as well so they can learn how to comfort themselves and sleep at night its all a doing it joke just do what you want!!

You took the words right out of my mouth...Do what you feel makes you and your babe comfy. At 5 weeks, they barely know how to focus on things, I doubt they'll be soooo upset if you let them cry a little.

Liam sleeps well in bed with me but he wont sleep by himself unlesss hes in his carseat. I put a blanket over the buckles and set him in there + hes got a cozy infant support thing that makes him all cuddly. Thats ehre he is right now I can hear him snoring! Im fixin to buy a motion glider I think its made by fischer price ive read from other mom testamonials that it works wonders.

I dont think you can spoil a baby thats only a few weeks old, or if it is spoiling them, I dont think it matters at that age! Hell they havent been in the world long, they arent used to being in a quiet room alone to sleep.

Lucas sleeps next to me in my bed every night, and in the daytime I stand up and rock him to sleep, or he falls asleep in my arms or layed on my chest/stomach while im sat down. Once he falls into a deep sleep then I sometimes put him in his bassinet or on the sofa by himself to sleep, but if he wakes up and cries then I hold him again and let him sleep on me.

I could never leave him to cry just because I feel like taking a shower or doing the laundry etc, yeah that stuff has to be done, but I choose to do it when hes awake and content in his bouncer chair thing or moses basket or even on the floor. I dont think anyone should leave a young baby all alone to cry until he/she falls asleep from tiring themselves out crying. Thats cruel... I agree with what hunter said, once they reach a certain age then yeah its wrong to spoil them, but under a year ish I couldnt just leave a baby to cry.

They are too young to tell us or show us whats wrong or where it hurts etc, so you could be leaving them to cry because you think they are doing it on purpose to be near you, when really they probably have tummy ache / gas / colic / be getting sick with something or whatever. They dont cry for no reason when they are so young! =/

He sleeps next to me, but is in his own pad if you know what I mean. I'd never let him sleep next to me because i'd be scared of smothering him, and the doctors and etc are really against it. He had this thing he sleeps on but he's still in my bed, it has foam walls on it so he can't roll over and so I can't squish him.

I never let him cry it out either, and i'll never, ever do that..

I put him in his stroller and he'll sit there and watch me do dishes but when about 20 minutes hit he starts to get pretty bored so i'll switch to something like laundry, and he'll be okay.

I try car rides but it never works, I went shopping at wal mart today for the first time with him and he did pretty good! He fell asleep almost right when we got there, but of course was fussy in the car.

I know the pad thingie you're talking about, d. I put one of those on my registry.

How is it cruel?

So instead of spending the waking hours your child has, you leave them unattended to shower and do launndry?

Thats much better I guess

and yes you can spoil babies by teaching them if they cry enough they will be picked up and coddled

.B.S

Ok whatever. . .

Babies do get spoiled to being held!!!!!!!!!


Anyone with a kid should know this.


I know from experience b*tches!!!!!!!!

To make things clear, im holding bray in one hand right now & typing with the other

Babies always cry for a reason, not to piss their mum off! Even if its just the fact they want to be held, you dont know if thats because the rocking motion helps if they have stomach ache or a headache or because they want the comfort/warmth or whatever it is, none of us know because they cant tell us. I dont think holding a baby because it wants comfort etc can be called spoiling them! Especially not the really young ones.

Lol not by being held by being rushed to every single time he cries

my mom let me and my sister learn to just fall asleep she just said goodnite and that was it she just left, we both slept through the night by 6 weeks old.

Now it doesnt mean your child is going to be a rotten brat because you pick them up but they .M.A.Y get used to being picked up

I couldnt leave lucas to cry his heart out until hes worn himself out from crying so much that he falls asleep. Just so he sleeps through the night within a certain amount of weeks. It upsets me when hes upset, theres no way in hell i'd leave a baby to cry like that, even if it wasnt my baby. I think its cruel because they cant tell us whats wrong so they shouldnt be left to 'deal with it' alone like that.

Yeah but you .C.A.N spoil them too much, then you've got aaaages of sleepless night on your hands.
