Uy, yan talaga ang struggle ng marami sa amin dito, parang human pacifier ka na lang, di ba? Ang nangyari sa amin is trial and error lang; one of my mum friends started offering a proper pacifier or teether when baby gets fussy, and then gradually she'd pull away so baby learns to self-soothe a bit, pero honestly it takes time and patience kasi some babies just prefer the comfort of being near mommy. The key is you're not doing anything wrong, it's actually normal for babies to want that closeness, pero if you're exhausted, it's okay to set gentle boundaries din, like maybe hold baby for a bit, then when they're calm, try to put them down or hand them to partner para ma-break ang cycle. Kaya mo yan, mama!
