Please could you ask this group this
Could I please have some advice regarding my 4 week old. Anonymous as I don’t want partner seeing.
My partner says I cuddle the baby too much that I hold her to go to sleep that I should be feeding – winding and putting her down to settle herself . She’s only 4 weeks old? I cuddle / rock her til she’s asleep then transfer to basket when she’s fast asleep but apparently that’s wrong ? That I’m over fussing ? I should be putting her in her basket to settle herself ?
What do you do with your babies for settling to sleep?
I’m a little confused as I thought I was doing right

You are doing it right ! she is your baby.. they aren’t that small forever enjoy every moment xx
You cuddle that baby around the clock if you want! Dont let anyone tell you otherwise, regardless who they are and enjoy every cuddle
How many babies has he had to have this wisdom? I think he is trying to make sure you spend more time with him then the baby TBH .. what you’re doing is the right thing and where ever he got his info is wrong
You’re both her parents and you’ll have different opinions on lots of things as she grows. You’ll need to communicate about that. Neither of you is wrong but it’s a different parenting style xxx
i cuddled all 4 of mine to get them to sleep until they were a little older then i would put them in their cot. at that age they need to close touch to feel safe and secure and to settle to sleep.
I wish I could go back and cuddle my eldest a hell of a lot more than I did. Listen to your instincts, not your partner or some strangers on the Internet, you know whats best for your baby
I was given that advice by my midwife. He has a point.
