| my 'baby' is 12 months old and i always pick her up when she's unhappy (doesn't have to get to the crying level). crying is STILL the way she can tell me that she needs me, and that some action is required! and she's not spoiled.
it may also sound a bit romantic, but i think holding your baby is an essential part of being a mother. i could never leave a helpless little one crying in the crib for one minute :(
i don't understand what kind of advice 'friends' can give, too.
anyway, sorry, this is just one topic i get carried away... |
