The only thing besides a feeding that consoles one of my boys is holding him, what can I do?

Hold your babies. U r not hurting them. 16 days is still very new. They need to feel mommy. People r going to say whatever u do as u feel, those r your babies. Bond with them without the guilt. My lil 1 is 3 months old & if she needs to be held yes I hold her. By the way I am a veteran mom. I have teenagers 2. =)
