There is just one thing that is really driving me mad at the moment.
On one hand I am being told that a baby under six weeks old needs cuddling off to sleep sometimes and won't form bad habits at this early stage and they just want lots of love
Then you hear loads of people telling you to just let the baby cry to sleep on his own and he will eventually go off and not to over cuddle them
What do you do
As a mother of a baby under four weeks, i still haven't yet worked out all his little noises and moods. How the hell can I work out if it is just wind, or just a cuddle, or if he has got hungry again?
At what point do I just leave him to cry?
This particular part of motherhood is the bit that is driving me mad the most.
It doesn't help when the baby whisperer book waffles on about 'accidental parenting' and not giving babies a prop, but the health visitor says that the baby just wants cuddles and he should get as many of them as he needs?????????????????
This part of motherhood is giving me brain damage!!!!!!!!!!!!!
