Hold or don't hold?!?!

"Let her cry"; "you should not carry your baby all the time"; "if you hear she cries and you come to hold her, you will spoil her"; or my favorite is "you must let your baby cry it out."
Those are the sentences I hear from friends or acquaintances, honestly I don't think we can bear to hear our baby cries it out.

I watched some German TV program (I think on RTL), saying that carrying, holding, hugging or cuddling your baby when she cries is actually showing your baby that we care, and let her feel secure.
In America, there are even people work as cuddlers in hospitals. They cuddle the babies, because the parents can't (Mom just got a surgery etc).

Hold your baby when she cries also bond the connection between baby and parents. So, don't hesitate to hold your baby when she cries :)
