Mum question: I feel I am hurting my baby by enjoying her so much. Im not great with wording but last baby no4 and am still so much in love I co sleep alone skin to skin still and feed all night off on ,shes 10mnths demand feed of a day or for comfort , i also wrap her take her everywhere we bath together I swish her in the water till she sometimes falls asleep its the most wonderful feeling .my lil baby has reached and reaching her milestones . BUT HERES THE PROBLEM, constant remarks of what are you doing to that baby...she doesnt like strangers at all. Is over clingy when anyones around .refuses a bottle or pacifier period. (Drinks from a straw cup) do you think I could be doing her harm by us being so close. ? I dont want to hinder her socially and not be able to self soothe at all. My other children I never fed long and i worked, never had the opportunity I have now. I apologize if this message is rambly arrrk! My husband/ inlaw and family are putting pressure on. Pinky says: You sound happy, baby is happy and it sounds as though you deserve this happiness. You have a well-attached baby and you are helping her feel nurtured and secure. It is hard though when family are putting pressure on you. It would be helpful to communicate with your husband how you feel and what support you need from him. Sounds like he is pretty shut out at the moment and this may be why he isnt supporting you, which is a shame. This is more complex that can be answered simply but from her secure base with you, you can help your baby gradually get used to other people. Ill post a blog about Velcro babies to reassure you that she will eventually reach out and form relationships with others. pinkymckay/loving-your-velcro-baby/
