What Does “Spoiling” a Baby Mean? Can It Be Done?

"Neuroscience, clinical science, developmental science all point to the need to meet babies' needs generously when they have them. This is sometimes called attachment parenting, which is based on our species’ ancestral or primal parenting and similar to the evolved nest (Evolved Nest) practices (which are more extensive and lifelong). This means a caregiver builds a reliable bond between them and the child from the first moments of life. As previous posts have noted, this can help build good physical and mental health as well as sociality and self-confidence." ~ API Board Member
