I've had it with people telling me that my baby is spoiled! I was with a friend and Ivy started crying, so I picked her up, put her on my shoulder and she stopped crying. My friend was like, wow, she sure is spoiled, isn't she? Um, no, she isn't. What would you suggest, me let her cry to teach her a good old fashioned lesson? Because it is wrong for me to calm my 8 week old daughter? Really?? Anyway, this is the third time in a week someone has made that comment to me and I'm done trying to explain myself to stupid people.
Oh! And I got the side eye from a relative for "still breastfeeding" because she isn't a "newborn" anymore. Oh. My. God. I would hate to know what things will be said of me when I'm "still breastfeeding" at a year.
Sigh.

Re: Spoiling
And I was accused of spoiling DD today (at 7.5 weeks old) by H. Why? Because she cried out so I went to her. Now I'm afraid if I leave her with him he'll just let her cry
I have a 3year old DS... he is SPOILED. I don't care. He is not ruined, and he is super smart, independent and all the things I would ever want in a child. Where did this whole spoiled=bad thing start? because its not true.
Just want to let all the moms out there know if you want to spoil your child do it. Don't let anyone tell you how to parent your child. I love my children and they know it, because there is not anything that I won't do for them. Their opinions are the only ones that matter. They are happy so=Winning!

DD (5 years old) from IUI in 2012
TTC 3rd and final!: IUI #1 in progress!
Newborns and babies in general, I agree.
Agree.
I hear ya! I'm always being told to let her "cry it out"... "it's good for her lungs".
I'm her mother, if I want to pick her up to soothe her, i'm going to! I can't stand these people that think they know everything about motherhood and they have to put their two sense in.
I would just shake my head at those people and brush it off. You literally can't spoil a baby at this age, and I am a little surprised anyone thinks it's weird your still breastfeeding. Most people breastfeed for at least 6 months if that's the route they choose. But that's how people work I guess. I have been judged on EVERY little thing I do with my kids since the day I have my FB 2 years ago. Apparently to my friends and family I am a terrible person for going back to work in two weeks. Ha. Your baby is definitely still a newborn, and deserves those snuggles!
But if I were you, I would be biting off heads left and right. Ha.
I'm a baby wearer a.k.a. kangamom. People gave me a lot of grief over carrying her as much as I did. I loved it. I cherished it. And she is doing just great now. My son and I are enjoying our time with the Moby now.
Don't listen to people.
