Can't stop crying!

[Kage76]

yesterday nite while in the hospital my lo got so over stimulated that the nurse's brought her to my room and asked could she have a pacifier. i said sure and they took her back to the nursery so i could take a nap. we got home today and after i fed, Burped, changed her and we cuddled i put her down and after she got fussy i gave her her pacifier and started crying because i thought she wouldn't want to feed from my breast anymore. then her cry changed i picked her up an she fed for a few minutes and snuggled up under me. i'm fighting the urge not to hold her too much because i know my elderly grandmother will be her sitter while i'm back at work. i literally watch her sleep and fight myself when she get's a little fussy. i try to wait at least two minutes to see if she'll come around.

Don't panic about over cuddling your baby- the old saying goes you can't spoil a newborn- and just because you are a first time mum don't be afraid to listen to your instincts and your little one. Both of you have to learn to communicate to each other and the best way is to just pay attention to her and learn her cues. You will soon learn her crys and if she is just being whinghy or really needs you- please don't worry about about holding her too much!
