HV says I'm spoiling my 3mo DD with attention!

Had my 3 month check with HV today. DD was asleep when HV came, when she woke up I picked DD up and she was all smiley, like she usually is, and HV was chatting away to DD, when HV turned away to talk to me, DD starting getting fussy until HV turned back to her, then DD was all smiles again, HV said I was spoiling her with attention and if it carried on, she'd be spoilt when she grew up.

DD is my rainbow baby and DH works 12 hour shifts as a paramedic, so for a lot of the time it is just me and DD, and I do pay her a lot of attention, she's also the first grandchild on my side, so she gets a lot of attention from my side. Am I spoiling her?

No - not compulsory. Thank goodness.

Not compulsory at all. Don't let anyone force you into seeing them.

If you have time, I think it'd be well worth reporting. I'm just amazed that anyone can think like this, especially someone who is a (supposedly) fully and extensively trained health professional.
