[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MB & DB have told me that I am holding the baby too much and want me to leave him to play alone on the floor.  He is 8 days old!!!  This is crazy to me.  Babies this age need to be held and cuddled, how can I explain this?  When we put him on the floor, he flails, screams and flaps his arms in distress.  He becomes hysterical and this is terrible for a tiny baby.  They want him all all day and sleeping all night.  I've been with them 3 years since the older brother was born.  They are from another country and maybe this is a cultural thing but I don't think this is okay.  I feel awful watching him scream on the floor.  If he was 3 months, fine put him on the floor but not a week old baby.  They aren't first time parents but had a baby nurse for their firstborn so maybe they don't understand?  I am not okay with leaving the baby in distress screaming just so they can sleep through the night!  How can I explain this tactfully?
