Holding child
Hi, I am first time mother. my son is 4 month old. Everyone around me telling that i should not hold my son for long time. i should put him on the floor and leave alone.
he sleeps, if i carry him and walk for a while, but others telling me that is wrong way. that i am making a wrong habit. kids should sleep whenever we put him in cradle.
as a FTM, am confused. he is so playful and naughty when am near him. he sleeps peacefully in my hand. please advice whether what i am doing is wrong?!

Thank you for your million dollar question.
What you are doing that is not at all wrong, and remember the most soothing place in the world is mama’s lap, that’s why got this natural instinct your son is in peace when you are around.
Others are also not wrong as they think if your son is in the habit of sleeping only in your lap then in future you will be in trouble as he will be clingy.
Just keep a balance between these two so that your son will be in perfect situation
