The first time when they cry you hug, then you need to hug for all the time. If the first time he/she cry, you left them alone, the story will change.
My eldest son is 8 years old now. When he was a new born BB I and my hubby hug him always-cause we don't know what is happening to him. But we are wrong, the BB only want attention-hug, but nothing else. So he keep on crying for attention.
My youngest girl is now 6 years old. We have experience for the first kid, therefore we know what to do with her. Beside drinking mike or changing diaper, we did not hug her at all, but just leave her in the bed. She never cry from the beginning. After drink mike and change diaper, we put her back on the bed. She played herself and fall in asleep later. When is time to drink mike she wake up, without crying and wait for the mike.
P.S: But if you start huging them, keep on huging them. When they grown bigger and bigger, they won't allow you to hug. You can only hug them for 2-3 years. (Threfore just enjoy)
