I'm a first time mum to my 4 week old son, and I've noticed that he doesn't always like to settle the same way.
Sometimes he falls asleep while feeding.
Sometimes he falls asleep in his pram (and then he'll be zonked for hours and wake up hungry).
Sometimes he's grizzle a bit in his Moses basket after I've changed, fed and winded him, then eventually after much dummy dropping, mini tantrums, and me replacing his dummy, he'll nod off by himself.
Other times he'll scream and wail til I rock him in my arms and he falls asleep on me.
My partner says I shouldn't let him fall asleep in my arms because he'll start only wanting to fall asleep that way. I feel like I can't win in that situation because he complains that it's annoying when our son cries, then when I do the only thing that consoles him (holding and rocking him to sleep) he still complains.
Surely there's nothing wrong with giving my baby affection when it's what he wants?
