[quote=Anonymous]I was breastfeeding on demand for both my kids.  So that gave me a lot of cuddle time.

I was always glad when my mom, MIL, SIL would hold my baby. It gave me an opportunity to take a nap. I thought it was wonderful that so many people in my family cared for me and my baby and bonded with my kids. They were very mindful of boundaries and would ask what else they could help with. My house had gone to the dogs but they never commented on it, instead consoled me that once the babies grew up a bit, things would be better and that I should not worry about it.  They came bearing food. Do laundry and dishes - but most of the time they were with the baby.

You know, not every child is so fortunate that they have extended family around them when they are born. Celebrate it.  You may birth the child, but you do a disservice to their emotional health if you prevent others from being an intimate part of their lives.  The baby who belongs to the whole family is a happier baby.  [/quote]
