My mom rips my child out of my hands and tells me I will spoil her: Thoughts?

YOU CAN’T SPOIL A BABY!!! Tell her to back off. YOUR baby was inside a warm cozy place up until just a short time ago. This world is big and scary and you are baby’s safe place. You cuddle that baby as much as you can while you can!!!

Seriously let your Mum know where you stand with how you feel and let her know she’s over stepping the boundaries and if she keeps doing it , it probably will create anxiety cause you would be constantly thinking am I holding the baby too long , am I not holding the baby enough ? Etc and that vibe you definitely don’t want

Two weeks old. Skin to skin contact is still important. I’d be telling my mom to back off. It’s your baby not hers.

You can’t spoil a newborn. This is your child and you need to make sure your mom knows her place or she needs to not be around

She had her turn. You raise YOUR child how you see fit and tell mom to back the f up.

Hold your baby as much as you want.

That shouldn’t even be a thought. Lol. Tell your mom off and stand up for your motherhood before she disrupts your bonding process.

Cut mom off and set boundaries now before more time passes. It’ll progressively get worse if you don’t. Good luck!

First off, I’d tell my mom to get the fuk off me and do NOT touch my child. Mom or not, she could fuk off… because, no. You won’t. She need to leave you with your baby. I’m so glad I was left alone with my kids, and to raise them how I saw fit… I couldn’t have handled an overbearing mom or mother in law. I wouldn’t have allowed it anyhow.

Don’t let your mom around then if she won’t respect what you do with your child. Tell her straight up you won’t allow her around the baby if she will do that. It’s not her place period

Kids no from the start what they can do I raised 7 I no what I had to do

Your mom is wrong. Babies need to bond. I have 2 daughters and 4 grandkids and held and rocked all of them endlessly. We are all very close due to that bonding.

Spoil the baby…they only stay babies for a short time…show your mom who the mother us thus time around!!!

That is not spoiling… tell her to mind her business… laying her belly to belly on u is actually belly time… strengthens the neck muscles for the baby.

You can not SPOIL a Baby with LOVE. besides its YOUR BABY you do what you feel is right for your baby… yo momma don’t have the right to do what she done.

Holding and cuddling your child is not spoiling her. Your mom sounds toxic.

Think you mom needs to realize that she raised her kids like she wanted to and now it is your turn. My children slept by me for ages, they are mine

1st of all…its YOUR CHILD.
2nd of all…she doesn’t call the shots.
Mother and child should be bonding as much as possible. Ever hear the quote, a mother holds her child’s had for “awhile” and their hearts forever? They grow up way to fast! Take in all the snuggles you can get! Tell mom to go home and mind her own business!

You can’t spoil a newborn. If you want to put the baby on your chest then you do that. Don’t let your mom take her. Hold your ground with her. She is your child. Raise her how you want, not how she wants

Nope. Tell your mom to fall back and let YOU mother YOUR child🤷🏽‍♀️

Your mom needs to back off and you need to ball up and tell her. Skin to skin is very important.

Let your child lay on your chest itis good for it and tell your mom you will raise the baby your way

Set some rules for your mom telling you what to do!!!

My “baby” is 2.5 years old and I let her cuddle on me and fall asleep for her nap. Then I put her in bed. As long as she sleeps in her own bed, I see no harm in giving her that extra comfort to start the nap off. Each parent has their own way. If item or causing harm to you or your child…“spoil” away.

That’s horrible what she is doing! I hope she doesn’t live with you!:worried:

Babies, especially young babies, benefit from being close to mom or other caregivers like being held or being pack around in baby safe carriers that keep them close to your body. It makes them more confident and they cry less typically. In my experience it does not make it harder to lay them down without you either usually.

You cuddle ,hug. Kiss and hold that baby when you want.Bond with your baby.Your baby needs a safe loving place to land

tell mum your baby your rules can NEVER spoil a baby they need cuddles

Your mom isn’t her mom there is no such thing as spoiling a newborn. It releases hormones for you and baby and have healthier babies.

Showing affection isnt what spoils a child. And in many cultures, babies were rarely out of contact with a family member for their entire first year, carried, held, cuddled, etc. And recent studies show contact is important for bonding and skin on skin contact is vital for preemies to thrive. You cuddle that precious bundle as much as you want.

You will never “spoil” a child by showing love

Omg you can’t spoil a newborn baby, they literally thrive on doing skin to skin with you. She needs to read up on the forth trimester and realize times and advice have changed drastically. I can see if you do not want to hold her all the time and teach her to self sooth, but she is YOUR baby, if you want to cuddle her 24/7 that’s up to you and only you. To hell if anyone would rip my newborn baby out of my arms haha

Love, hold cuddle that baby all u want.nobody has the right to do what she is doing. Babies thrive and grow from lots of cuddle and love.

Tell mom to respectfully mind her business. She had her chance at raising kids, now it’s your turn. You can’t spoil a 2 week old.

That’s so wrong. They need comfort n u need to hold them to bond w them.

That’s horrible. You can’t spoil a baby! How heartbreaking for your set your mum straight because that is horrid that she is doing that to you!

Nothing wrong with you holding the baby and you can never hold them to much

Tell your mom to bug off. You can hold your kid as much as you want, she is yours and you can raise her how you want. There is absolutely nothing wrong with holding your baby…it does not spoil them lmao.

Ummm… smack your mom the next time she rips your baby from your arms. She’ll learn :wink:

Get rid of your mother and tell her to mind her own business

Holy fuck I’d throw hands if someone took my baby away from me like that! That is your baby do not let anyone bully you into doing what they want! You cannot spoil a baby for god sakes

Babies cannot be spoiled. Tell your mom that’s your baby and enjoy being the grandma

That’s your child and you do as you see fit! Tell your mom to keep her hands and thoughts to herself!

No tell your mom to go home or mind her own business

You CANNOT spoil a 2 week old baby. Give her love all the love mama.

No way can u spoil a child that young

Babies cannot be spoiled. Listen to your instincts and don’t let anyone shame you for parenting decisions you make for your own child.

That is so wrong of your parent to do that to you & your baby.

You cant spoil a baby with hugs.

There’s no such thing as spoiling your baby. Your baby needs love and affection and touch. Your mom should respect your wanting to do so and back off.
