AIBU when I get angry seeing Mums feeding babies while the baby is in a buggy /pram ! I do realise this is sometimes necessary because of circumstances , but it is very common I am prompted to write because of a photograph in today’s Sunday’s Times ! The poor baby does not know what to do with its hands , a baby is programmed to knead the Mums breast’s if breast feeding and will do this if being bottle fed ! Also there is no eye contact , that is surely wrong ! I would like to include the photograph but I do ot know how to !

No Lucca,that`s my opinion.
Why would you NOT pick up the baby and hold the baby close ?.
I loved nothing more than my sons looking up at me and smiling.PRICELESS.

Because sometimes a mum is just touched out? Bad back? Need a break?

Amy number of reasons.

None of which means she loves her child less than those who hold them the whole time.

Some babies dont like to be held, others need to be held all the time.

Babies are people with their own personalities

My oldest grandson didn't like being held.
It was frightening, trying to give him a cuddle, as he would wriggle and squirm and fight to get away.
