Hello love, it’s normal that babies want to do that. They want to smell and feel you! Both of my babies was sleeping in my arms. Most of the time. Ist just repeatedly trying. Dont give up. I feel and hear you!! You are doing great mama

He’s only 2 months. Cuddles are priority to babies that small. They love it. Don’t worry it won’t last forever and you will get things done

tysm :(

yes! a bouncer and a swinger. he sometimes sleeps in them while i’m able to do stuff but most of the time once i put him down he yells and cries like there’s no tomorrow 😔😔😔

its natural they yell, in their mind they don't know that they are in a cozy house with AC and that mom is just right there
They're working entirely off monkey brain and their brain says "mom isn't here, she forgot us on the (forest) floor, we could be eaten, we need to scream to get her attention so we aren't left behind"
For my daughter I usually either wear her in my sling for when im not doing things like cutting vegetables or touching the stove
But mostly ill breastfeed or put her down for a nap and do chores when she's sleeping

When my daughter was this age she was definitely a clinger lol so I used wraps and body carriers to support her as well as get stuff done. Baby wearing makes life so much easier you still get that bond y’all need while being able to do other things. Saved my sanity
