IMO a baby cannot have too much love in the form of cuddles and kisses. MG and Lesty - your precious ones are still very tiny, developing rapidly and need lots of physical and emotional contact. Please don't let anyone make you feel guilty for that - if you, as their mothers feel they need those cuddles, then that is absolutely what they need. What kind of message do you send when you ignore a baby who is upset or needs attention? Babies are not capable of manipulation.

I'm offended by the term high maintenance - is a baby supposed to be 'low maintenance'??!! It's worse than the whole 'good' baby thing. I too would be concerned about that attitude and the TV comment. There are lots of studies now about the negative effects of TV on tiny people (not that we don't all use it at times lol!). Music or the radio is much better as suggested.

Hugs for you and your bub!
