I have a 4 week old who just loves to be held, majority of the time I put her down, she cries, she happily settles lying on my chest, over my shoulder, or just lying next to me. At night time in her next 2 me. She'll not settle, be up every hour, and just won't be happy. I co-slept with her the past few nights and she only woke up twice throughout the night and went straight back to sleep after feeding.
My partners saying I'm being too soft and that she'll learn to be on our own in her cot, and that I need to stop letting her get her own way with her being to clingy and wanting to be with my all the time. He says, 'it's only crying' 'it's not nice but they start learning straight away'
Is he right in saying I'm being too soft?
Or should I just enjoy her being like this (which I am) and carry on with what I'm doing? I don't want her to cry. If she likes being near me and that comforts her then that's what I want to do?
Thankyou x
