Re: what happens if your infant just cries by being spoiled

How old is s/he? If baby is 6 months or younger, you cannot spoil him or her. Picking up and carrying the baby will make your baby feel secure. There's also evidence to suggest that babies whose mothers picked them up, held, snuggled, etc. their babies when they cried ended up being more independent, confident and generally happy than babies whose mother's pass them off to somebody else, or leave them when they want mommy. Have you looked into getting a sling to hold your baby in?
It's totally normal for a baby to act that way (only wanting mama), so it's not just your baby! I understand though that it can wear on your nerves if you're constantly in demand by your lo, but try to be patient. It won't be long before that baby doesn't want to be held or snuggled by you so much!

Re: what happens if your infant just cries by being spoiled

If he's throwing things he sounds older than 6 months. Hold him when you can, and tell him no when you cant (like making dinner or cleaning something). Pick out 3-4 "special" times during the day to hold him for 10-20 minutes. For example, before bed time, after he wakes up in the morning, etc. By holding him at the same time everyday for the same length of time, you create a bond and trust. This should allow you to have more free time without him demanding your attention because he knows he will get it. It will take a few weeks before he realizes whats going on, so be patient but firm.
