A newborn isn’t manipulative. They cry because they need you. Our job as parents is to listen to our instincts and feed, comfort, and love the little guy as needed.
When you respond to your baby’s cries, he learns, “this place is awesome!”
Believe it or not, picking up your baby when he cries, leads to independence. Why? Because when you meet your baby’s needs, she develops a sense of security and confidence, which in turn leads to independence
As your baby gets older, crying will not always be because she needs you. She’ll have wants, “I want your glasses.” “I want your hot coffee.” … and that’s when you’ll need to set limits and teach your baby… “I love you, but No. “You can’t have my glasses, the knife, the hot coffee.”

Alright here comes when your baby is about 1 and is always crying cause they want to be held🤦🏾♀️. Your baby is not a purse set limits people
Thank you ❤️ I need to hear this daily right now. Surprisingly, the ig community has been my best support on this matter
This is so true
👌😀
Don’t sit & hold your baby all day then put them in daycare & expect them to sit & hold them the entire time.. I can assure you your baby will be left crying..
I’m so happy that I did all of these! Thanks to COVID-19, nobody could come to visit us and advise me how I was spoiling my newborn! 😂
Till when is a baby considered a new born? 😊 No idea…FTM here 😇 Also learnt something new!
