Just like to update that it must have been an unsettled week for him, and I'm so glad that I just went with it and cuddled him when he needed it. Might have been part of the 6-8 week fussiness I was warned about! Anyway, it hasn't been habit forming at all, he is well and truly back to being cuddled or fed until sleepy and then falling asleep tucked into his cot

I'm now convinced it won't spoil him (had to see it to believe it I guess ) and I continue to cuddle him whenever he needs it, regardless of what my mum says! Mind you, she hasn't said it in a while, probably because she sees that it didn't 'spoil' him after that week of basically sitting around with a baby sleeping on me all the time!

Thanks everyone
