I can't tell if I'm doing something wrong. Like did I miss some window of exposing babies to places other than my arms? Like how lactation consultants spread lies about nipple confusion and giving babies pacifiers or bottles too soon so they will never breastfeed again? Am I making up this aversion to not being held to satisfy some deep psychological need to never eat with two hands again?
I imagine Dr. Sears would say this is how you are supposed to be with a baby. To that I say: Dr. Sears, you are an unscientific misogynist, and I hate your whole family. There. I said it. (but not as eloquently as others.)
I'm sure one day she will be a teenager and she will hate me because I won't let her wear the trendiest thing that also happens to be a horrible idea for teenage girls. And I will look back on the days where she wanted to be held all day, and I will miss those days. So for you, future teenage daughter who is mad at me, I will try to ignore my strong need for another glass of water and the lack of sensation in my right leg while you sleep on my lap.
