I've had four and at that age, I don't think you can spoil them.
On the other hand if they're clean, fed and dry, AND your at you wits end so to speak put them down and let them cry til you get it back together.
I don't know of any baby who ever cried themselves to death. So if your losing it put them down and take a break. Yes I know the OP is not losing it but someone who reads this might be. It does not make you a bad parent.
They grow up to fast not to hold them.
