How you know when a baby is spoiled?

Question

Books always say you can't spoil a baby.. I got a 7 month old that hates to sleep at night by himself and sometimes during the day.

Answer 1

Let him know who is the parent and who is the child..  Set the schedule and stick with it. Good luck

Answer 2

By the smell.

Answer 3

A baby is spoiled when they smell bad lol I'm sorry I'm lagging...ignore  

Answer 4

Yes, you can spoil a child.  When the child rules the parents life, the baby is spoiled.  In your case, if your baby won't go to sleep by himself, and cries for hours, he's spoiled.

Break him of the habit early.  Put up with the crying, it'll only take a few nights, he'll realize who's the parent.

Answer 5

I wouldn't say he is spoiled, but you haven't put him on any kind of schedule. As the mom, that is your job. Get a routine and stick to it.

Answer 6

So why is a spoiled baby such a bad thing??

Answer 7

books lie.. you can spoil a baby and you know hes spoiled when he never plays or sleeps alone.. holding your baby a lot will do this.. they don't feel secure when they are alone because they have been held so much..

Answer 8

Answer 10

Telletubies is a great show for babies. Barney as well. The sounds tend to soothe them. Your baby is probably cutting teeth too! Set your child on a schedule and stick to it! That helps. Wake up time's, Nap times and bed times. A child that young needs to take at least one nap a day.

Answer 11

if u give it to much attention

Answer 12

Answer 13

Of course you can spoil a baby, when a baby won't sleep by themselves, then that is a bit spoilt as you are accommodating their wants without trying to get them out of the habit
