Props for all those moms who have the stamina to pick up their babies EVERY TIME THEY CRY. I have nothing against you at all, but I do have a question. If a baby gets used to being picked up every time they cry from birth-forever ever notice how the baby starts to want to be held non stop once they reach 6mo old? I know I've seen a lot of moms SO stressed, I wonder...Is it really "good" for the baby to be held constantly if it's stressing the mother so much? I don't think so I see that a lot of moms, no matter how much they adore their little angel, get very aggitated and can start (without realizing it) building up resentment. So is picking up your child every time they cry really a good thing? I know that babies NEED to cry (a little) for their lungs to develop (prevents SIDS) and as a way to releive stress and get excersize. I trained my babies (4yrs and 6mo) at 3 months and they are scary they are so secure and calm. I don't know if that's why but I'm glad they're so happy.
