Do first time mum spoils their babies too much???

Being a first time mum to a premie baby is already hard enough. Sometimes I wonder if I'm actually spoiling my baby or not. I often ponder...

I play alot with Nelson, read with him and even sing lullabies to him. Is this spoiling I wonder??

Before Nelson goes to sleep, I would sing to him.. his favourite songs - Twinkle, twinkle little star and Rock a Bye Baby... Sometimes I would turn on the iPod to his favourite album.. Mama Mia!!! Believe it or not my 8 month old son loves the sound track of Mama Mia.. especially "Dancing Queen".. Whenever I played this song, he would be silent as if engaging in the tune and lyrics..

When Nelson cries, I would give him a big cuddle and kiss and telling him everything is alright. Mummy's right here... is this spoiling??

Hmmm... I guess everyone has a different definition to the word "spoil". If giving him a cuddle when he cries, singing lullabies to him is spoiling.. then I would not know the definition of "settling a baby"...
