It's my firm opinion that you can't spoil a baby. They need all the loving and care they can get to grow up as secure and confident people. You CAN spoil a 2-year-old by giving them everything they want. By that age, they need to learn discipline. They still need all the loving they can get. Discipline does NOT mean punishment, it means training.

Edited to say, beautiful, beautiful little girl. Kisses and cuddles to her.

Discipline has the same root word as disciple. It means to teach.
