Too much ?

I was talking to my mom and she was telling me that i pay too much attention to every noise my baby makes and i immediately pick him up, whether in the stroller or at nights when he’s sleeping. She was telling me to let him be and its ok for him to cry a little. She tells me my baby is studying my every move. She grew up in a big family with lots of babies and i barely been around babies and a ftm. I just can’t help it when he cries😅 What do you guys think of this generation parents vs old school parenting ? I know you cannot spoil babies this age but i know my baby knows cause and effect at this point
