I have a 5 month old baby boy. My husband says that he is spoiled. I work part time. While I am at work, my husband says that sometimes he won't eat his cereal or drink his milk while I am gone. What do I do about him eating while I am gone? Second, can you spoil your child at such a young age. I've always felt that your baby cries because they want/need something. Even if it is just being nearer to you. Am I being naive? Someone please give me some information on this.
