This is a premium opportunity for you to do your own thing. Do you feel like you're giving your baby too much one-on-one attention? Does it seem even possible at 15 weeks?

It sounds like you're doing everything right. If it feels healthy to you and works for your family, keep at it!

I agree...you are NOT spoiling her! My first was like that (VERY attached to me, wanted to nurse 24/7, did not sleep well on his own, would tolerate swing or bouncy seat for short time, but way preferred being held), and now at almost 7, he is fine hanging out with daddy, separates easily to get on the bus to go to school for first grade, does a lot for himself, and is a very sweet affectionate boy (loves to give mommy a kiss on the cheek and asks me if I missed him at school). I think by meeting their needs when they are small, you are giving them the confidence they need to be more "independent" as they get older. Keep up the great job you are doing!
