Okay, I need some honesty here. There is just so much conflicting information - especially when you have a ton of outspoken family members :S

LO turns 4 weeks on Wednesday. For the first 2 weeks, when he wasn't sleeping or eating or getting changed, he was chill with just laying in his bassinet. But I would rather hold him and he was chill with that, so that's what we did. I would put him down now and again, but for the most part, he was being held or laying in our laps. He loves being snuggled :3 I scoop him up as soon as he cries. I will let him fuss a bit, but as soon as the crying starts, I'm like "Nope! *baby grab*"

MIL and other family members kept going on about spoiling him and how we were setting up bad habits, etc. I had remembered reading somewhere that you can't spoil a newborn. And that's what I want to believe, so that's what I diverted to, haha.

Well, for the last two weeks LO has been cluster feeding every so many days like there's no tomorrow! Now he's out of the last batch and whenever we lay him down he fusses and cries until he is picked up. Then he's happy as a clam This is only throughout the day - he sleeps very well at night. As long as he's fed and swaddled he wakes up every 4 hours or so and is good to go.

This newfound neediness doesn't bother me. Yes, it's tiring, but I thought this was normal newborn behavior and so I expected it. I mean, it seems like a little baby should want to be held and comforted all the time, right? :x

So yeah, am I "ruining" my baby (I mean, it's bound to happen, but already? )
