when did your baby start doing this...

We try not to spoil our baby to much by holding her ourselves. We pass her along to others and put her down as much as possible. But she fake cries so we will pick her up. She also fake cries when someone else is holding her and she spots us or hears our voices. She has been doing this for 3weeks now. She is going to turn 4months tomorrow.

    You can't spoil a baby under 1 year old. Their brains are not capable of manipulation. They cry for a reason. Babies thrive on human contact and interaction. You might make her more anxious in the future if you try to make her too independent now. She's too little to understand what you're trying to do.

    Mine does, but it's not a "fake" cry. He makes a sound like he is going to cry to get a response from me so he knows that I am still around, to get reassurance that I am there. Once I pop back into view and respond he smiles and goes back to playing. He is 3 months, soon four.
    One time I didn't respond fast enough (was using the bathroom) and he actually started crying. I felt so bad.

    @mom2ing thank you!!

    @2ndbutfirst It's not a matter of intelligence, it's a matter of ignoring a babies instincts for fear of "spoiling" them. I'm sorry but babies don't do things "on purpose" or with malicious intent. It's a proven fact that their brains just don't work that way until between the ages of 1-2 yrs old.

    Babies DO begin to learn cause & effect at an early age though. "if I drop my spoon, mommy picks it up". So they arent doing it with any malicous intent but they are smart enough to realize "when I cry, mommy picks me up". You should pick them up when they (fake) cry because they are probably lonely etc, but dont break your neck trying to get to him/her in two seconds. Jmo

    @davidnaadynsmama I agree, I just hate when people say they're spoiled.

    Idk my nephew would fake cough when I or his mom weren't pay attention to him, just so he could be watched. I think babies learn our reactions to their actions. Even the dr told us he was jus looking for attention

    @starrxoxo9 I agree.

    @2ndbutfirst Well I guess we have different understandings of the meaning of spoiled.

    My sons Dr said 6 months a baby can get spoiled but fake crys are deff just to be silly and kno ur there. My friends baby is 9 months and its extremely SPOILED. She gets everything. Won't sleep in her own bed wont let anyone but her mom hold her and throws temper tantrums. You can spoil baby's under 1.
