You cant spoil a baby under the age of 1. No crying has never `KILLED` a baby but it will give them trust issues. I would definitely not want my baby to have to learn to `get over` something so early on =( Research Erik Erikson.

i dont think they get spoiled @ this age, i have a baby almost 2 months old. when he wakes up is the best time for me, i get the bottle ready, change him, and then keep him where i changed him like on the floor or couch, so i dont have to pick him up to move him, and sit next to him, talk to him, sing him songs,kiss his hands, and things like that, and i sneak in tv time too lol. then when he starts to get fussy, i try talking and calming him where he is. when i know hes about to go off on me, ill pick him up, feed him, and move on..... dont know if i helped but i hope so

Ditto butterblocksmom. Your daughter isn`t `spoiled`, she is a normal baby with normal needs. She`s crying because she wants you. She needs to feel secure and loved and to know that you will always respond when she needs you. If she`s heavy, wear her in a sling or wrap or some other carrier to free up your arms. You cannot love or hold a baby too much.

You CAN NOT spoil a child who is younger than 6 months by responding to their cries/needs. Hold her for heavens sake. She obviously needs something right now. They grow up SO fast, take every moment to be with her. Building her psyche now and responding to her most basic needs is EXACTLY what she needs. Children don`t start to understand cause/effect until older, so you simply can NOT spoil her. I can not tell you how many experts say this exact same thing. I`ll post some links. BUT by responding to her needs, fears, insecurities now, you are building her up to be more confident later. TRUST me.
