Can you spoil a newborn with too much attention?

No — it is impossible to spoil a newborn. Responding promptly and consistently to your baby's cries builds secure attachment and teaches them that the world is safe. Research shows that babies whose needs are met quickly actually cry less over time, not more. Holding, comforting, and feeding on demand are exactly what your newborn needs. Discuss responsive caregiving with your pediatrician.
