Spoiled baby

Right so my baby (12 weeks) cries all the time. Constantly. It doesn’t matter what ur doing with her she just cries all day long from start to finish. Can break it up for 15-30m at a time but that’s it. According to doctor and health visitor it’s behavioural. I can agree with this because I’ve seen her not acting like that around different company/out the house etc It’s my husbands fault for picking her up constantly and starting this. How can I unspoil her to stop this behaviour ? She won’t sleep during the day, won’t stop crying and his solutions are to constantly feed her but obviously that’s just stupid can’t be doing that. She doesn’t take dummy always spits it out or starts crying worse. Please don’t say it’s natural or normal. I’m sick of it. When she had her vaccines she would come home and be too sore tired or unwell and she wouldn’t act like that one bit she’d be chilled relaxed and sleepy and take all her bottles well…because clearly she didn’t have the energy to so I know it’s her choosing this behaviour not really pain? What do yous think

A 12 week old can't be spoilt and can't manipulate you.. some babies just have higher emotional needs and want to be cuddled more and be closer to you.. it's a natural instinct - this world is new for them and you are their only certainty.. things will get better with time :) x

I agree with the other comment. You can't spoil a baby. I'm shocked that the doctor and health visitor told you that it's behavioral. Babies cry to express their needs, they have no other way of communicating with us. Sure, some babies are most fussy and difficult but that's not because their trying to be difficult. They don't have the knowledge to do that yet. If you're feeding her all day, it's possible her stomach is starting to hurt. Breastfed babies can't be overfed but formula babies can be. If she's not napping then she probably gets over tired and then that causes her to be fussy. I'd keep trying different things such as: trying different pacifiers(dummys), seeing a lactation consultant, trying drops for collic, bouncing on an excersice ball with her, rocking in a rocking chair, using a baby swing, using a baby carrier, swaddling, singing to her, etc. Babies also feel our emotions so if you're getting frustrated she'll feel that and it'll be harder for her to calm down. I wish you luck!

You are only thing that baby has. The baby is not and can not be spoilt… love, comfort and trust is what your baby might be seeking from you & if your baby isn’t doing it when people are around then she’s getting stimulated and when they aren’t there your baby is bored.
