when your kid is being breastfed standing up...
when your kid is being breastfed standing up...
My son will be 5 years old soon but he is still my "baby". Well, the issue here is when he is tired or just before he goes to bed, he wants me to carry him everywhere. Some people have told me that I am "babying" him but I love holding him when he is in the mood to cuddle and I don't mind carrying him to bed. It is my way of showing him my love. I could make him be like a "big" boy and use his legs. In your opinion, is it considered "babying" him even though it is only when he is tired or just wants to cuddle up? I get confused to why that is considered "babying" him when he is still a toddler. I consider toddlers babies. When is the right age to stop this "babying"?
I don't want him to become spoiled but at the same time, I love the feeling of him cuddling up to me when I carry him.
Sometimes, I wonder if I am more sensitive about my need to "baby" my son because my 13 year old daughter was taken away from me in February. It is like I want to savour every moment while my son is still little and I honestly don't want him to grow up. I am not happy about him turning 5 this month. It is going by way too fast.
Thanks everyone..I dont know why some people feel the need to criticize me for showing love to my son. It is better than those parents who neglect or abuse their children, right?
A child never suffers from having too much love. They do, however, suffer a great deal from not having enough. Your kids will never be at risk.
True, but a child suffers too if they r crowded by their parents. It still needs to be a healthy love.
Knowing shel as I do, I can be sure that she does not "crowd" or "overprotect." And the problems suffered from overprotection are much easier to remediate than those that come from neglect. Likewise, overprotection often has nothing to do with love for the child.

There are some parents that do the over protective thing thinking it is out of love. My mother would call up my school just to make sure I was there and not skipping. She thought she was doing that out of love, when it was not. I also know some other parents that did stuff like that thinking it was out of love. It might not be love how they doing it, but to the parent that does it, in their mind, it is love.I don't think it is love at all if the parents are too overprotective. It's more of controlling for their own selfish reasons if you ask me.
Her son will eventually ask her to stop carrying him (or accept that he is too heavy for her to carry him).
