Am I spoiling my child?

My daughter is almost 19mo and still wants the boob and be up 24/7. As she starts moaning because she wants me, I run to her and cuddle her. Sometimes it’s exhausting tho. She doesn’t entertain herself if you’re in the house. She’s happy outside and in social environments, but if we’re in, it’s a carry on. Anyone else still like this. I’m still bf her.

Personally I think it not so much spoiling her but She needs to learn how to entertain herself and how to be alone. I would try maybe being in eyesight but not running to her everytime she moans especially if there is nothing actually wrong with her she’s just moaning for the sake of it. That way she knows your there but she will learn that she can’t get her way 24/7. Maybe find her more creative things to do such as paints or colouring and she may take more interest in that than her toys my little girl does good luck! X

I don't think responding to and regulating your child is spoiling them.

Aww you can't spoil a baby! Mine is not currently like this but he will be 18mo next week. He was like this at 13-14mo with teething. Maybe its that?

19 months old isn’t a baby, they’re toddlers and they need structure. They can be told no & you can explain things to them at this age. She understands what’s going on and if you don’t want to breast feed her you can tell her no boob. Don’t be scared of her having a tantrum

I was doing the same but I stopped as I can tell when my LG cry for no raison or because she wants her way So if I know she isn’t in pain and nothing wrong with her I just let her cry a bit I explain to her I’m doing this and she needs to wait .. something like that She cries a bit and stops… Even for the boob I tell her later As if I follow her she would be on the boob all the time
