Don't pick up your baby as soon as they start crying

Let them cry and they will learn to selfsoothe

If you pick them up they will get spoilt

Have you been told this by well meaning friends and relatives?

It is one of the Commonest myths about babies.

ALWAYS pick your baby up when they cry

NEVER leave them to cry

Babies cry when they need something

It is the only way they can communicate

If you respond immediately and try your best to try and understand their need and fulfill it

Or at least stay close to them until they calm down

They will grow up to be calm and confident knowing that you are always there for them.

And they will cry less and less.

I teach all this and much more in my prenatal classes so that parents don't do the wrong things Because of the myths around parenting

Did you attend a prenatal class?
