Question

or should you put it in the crib?

Answer 1

deffently not they wll alway expect you to do that and its not fair on you i wrap my baby up and give her the dummie and she falls asleep on her own other wise ill have to do it all the time

Answer 2

As long as you can and then you can use a sling to carry baby on your front or back when your arms get tired. There have been studies that show that babies carried upright (ie slings) throughout the day have less wind/colic problems. Plus the bonding thing. It's all good and what I plan to do with my next one!

Sometimes, though, a crib is more practical just not too often.

When my Grand Babies are little, I hold them every possible moment that I can. I rock us to sleep all the time. When we fall asleep in the bed, there is nothing better than cuddling and smelling that baby fresh smell. If I spoil them by doing this, then shame on me, but look at the love shared. There will come a day when they are to old to be babied, so while I have the chance, look out rocking chair cause here comes Grandma and Baby. Oh yes, at times we get to be in Heaven while on earth.

I always got told from my aunties, "don't hiki (cuddle) the baby all the time". I thought bullocks, when I had my son I was so overwhelmed with emotion and love for him and even now (he's about to turn 4 on Sunday) I cuddle him as much as possible, it makes him feel secure and safe and he knows that he can come to me whenever he is hurting.

What has been a little difficult though, is getting him to sleep without me being in the room with him. That again is my own fault because it's my "snuggle time" with him.

Heaps of people have different thoughts, I figure that once they are old enough to say, eeewww don't hug me mum, they'll soon fly. Until that day, my son will get tons and tons of cuddles. I think he only spent one night in his cot when he was a baby before I started putting him in the bed with us because I just wanted to be close to him all the time.

Whatever makes you feel secure, is up to you. Kids grow up way too fast these days, there's a nastier world out there than when I was growing up so I enjoy every single little snuggle with my son, and the one on it's way will get just as mandy snuggles..... Congrats on your blessing.

Answer 5

It's good to cuddle as much as possible, but remember a baby only learns what it is taught. So, if you still want to be holding your baby 6 months from now all day and night do that from the beginning. However, if you want to be able to have time for yourself give your baby the opportunities to play and explore on her own during the day as well.

Answer 6

cuddle cuddle cuddle your baby needs that and so do you! my daughter is 3months old and I find myself feeling guilty if I put her down for 10minutes. lol It's not a scientific fact but in my experience I have observed mothers who do not cuddle and there babies do not seem to thrive as well as a cuddled baby. If you are concerned about your baby learning to sleep alone you can do what I did, I bought a pack'n'play and set it up right next to my bed. I can look over at her and check up anytime that I want. sometimes I even just watch her sleep. A baby is a wonderful gift from god! I firmly belive that you shouldn't have children if you do not intend to spoil them...:) hope this helps out good luck and congrats

Answer 7

When you have a baby you will find that you want to cuddle the baby more than anything. Holding your baby will be about as good as it gets. And with that in mind, nature clearly intended for your baby to be cuddled rather than put to be alone in a crib. Did you know that all mammals release a hormone that causes them to need to respond to their young?
Don't overide this instinct with your mind!!!

Answer 8

no ! That's a very bad thing to do ... don't keep cuddleing your baby all day and night ... your baby is gonna get use to that .. and your child well expect you to do this when it gets older .... yes i understand this may be your first child and you love it to death .... but when the time comes and you want time with your husband its gonna be hard for you ... cause you'll have your child there with you expecting for that imbrace from you ... it's a very wise idea to start now and have your baby get use to sleeping in it's baby crib ... it's not gonna hurt the baby at all .... trust me ... my friend has done this with her baby .... i told her over and over that she needed to have her baby sleep in his own crib as well ... not with her everynight giveing her baby comfort ... she regreated it now .... she has such a hard time trying to have her one year old now sleep in his own crib .... when she has a new born now ... good luck

Answer 9

YES!!! you should cuddle your baby day and night.I did i had friends tell me whenever my kids cried when they were put down for whatever reason, they needed control crying therapy!!
My therapy...keep them in my arms!!It made baby happy and me. I can cuddle them now but cant hold them as you know they dont stay young forever,make the most of it. Dont worry about what other ppl tell you you r the childs mother do what you FEEL is best for you and your baby. I DID

Answer 10

Best to put them in the crib when they are just about asleep. If you carry them while sleeping they may not want to sleep in their own bed later on and cause hassle. It will also save your back. If they are awake, maybe invest in a baby sling so that you don't have to carry them but they still feel close to you and comforted by that.

Answer 11

She feels like my daughter while she became into 2 months previous. My woman newborn is now 3 a million/2 months previous and she or he in basic terms began nursing for decrease than 15 minutes as a exchange of the a million hour sessions we use to have. definitely it went from a million hour to 40 min, to 30 min, to twenty minutes. i became into in basic terms thinking how advantageous those a million hour sessions have been right this moment and am lacking them. My daughter isn't very clingy now, she definitely is going through a piece of no longer desirous to be held each and every of the time. toddlers circulate through all styles of stages. My philosophy is to offer my daughter what she needs and which will save her chuffed which in turn keeps me chuffed. take excitement in the cuddle sessions particularly in case you have the time to do it. you will no longer have this time ever back so make the main of it. I valuable did and am chuffed approximately it. i'll be going back to paintings next week and am dreading it.
