Am I a baby hog?

its your baby, eff what they think 🤷‍♀️ if they want to hold a baby so bad then they can go make another of their own 😂

Of course you don't want to let your baby cry but do you give them a few minutes to see if they can calm her down? She's still young now but if she doesn't get at least a little used to other people now, it may cause you some struggles down the line

@Sarah i understand where you’re coming from here but personally my rules are if she cries, she comes back to mom/dad. shes just a baby, she doesnt understand her emotions yet. all she knows is mom/dad=safe

if they want to hold a baby so badly tell them to have their own 😂

Hold the baby I wish I could keep my girl close to me like that still lol

@MIA❤️‍🔥 right? Like this is a HUMAN not a toy! I’m going to hold them??

you can’t “hog” your baby. that’s not a thing and people should stop saying it in a way to shame a mothers desire to keep her child close.

@Jaylean oh for sure, I wasn't saying ignore the crying and make her get over it. I was just asking like does she take the baby back the second she gets a little uncomfortable or is she like crying crying

I’m petty so I’d be even more of a “baby hog” around them just for that, you had your time with your babies this is mine, to me it’s manipulation to make you feel bad and give them more time with the baby. But if you are gonna call me a baby hog I just won’t be visiting you lol

Baby cries = back to mom. I cringe at myself when I think back before I had kids and I was holding someone’s baby and would try to calm them if they started crying. Mama knows what baby wants, if I’m holding a baby and they cry, back to mom they go!! How you could have babies yourself and not understand that is wild to me 😂

I had a similar situation. I would take my baby back the second she would cry and my MIL told me she wanted a chance to soothe her and if she couldn’t then she would give her back. I let her and sometimes she would be able to and if she couldn’t she would hand her back to me. It helped establish trust and now I feel comfortable with leaving my baby with her ☺️ but I don’t think you can hog your own baby.

lol I agree with Kiersten here. My baby cries a lot around people. When I go to my MIL she would hold her even when she won’t stop crying because she thinks my baby will stop crying lol. As @Kiersten said my MIL doesn’t understand that she has to give the baby to me because I’m the mom. My MIL had babies right? She should know better than this lol… anyway you know what I do? I let her to hold my baby until she realizes herself that she should give the baby to me ahaha. My MIL doesn’t come often to visit my baby or hold her or play with her so OFC my baby will cry with her, my baby doesn’t recognize her. Anyone who wants to meet my baby is welcome to, but just know—if the baby cries a lot, you won’t be able to hold them much. It takes time to build a relationship with a baby.

I let a family friend hold my son at a Christmas party and she held him so long, I had to come get him back. Don’t feel bad. People sometimes let their mind go on vacation.

I never understood why people feel so entitled to being able to hold another persons baby.

Lol i read this wrong 😂 I thought they were calling you a baby pig at first😂😂i was like wtffff is their problem loll

They’re pathetic it’s your baby you hold her as much as you want!

I guess they just want a chance to bond with baby. Can't do that when baby is attached to their parents. It's not till they are around 1 years old they learn to get comfortable around other people in the family.

I use to purposely put baby in a sling knowing all she would do was eat and sleep, I'd leave the room to change her and take her out to snuggle before rocking her back off again 🤣🤣🤣 I hate babies being passed around!

I’m 2 1/2 weeks till I’m due and I’m making it very clear no baby is being passed around until about a year old because neither of our families tell us if they’re fcking sick or not🙄 Outside of my parents and my fiancés oldest brother/SIL
