Yes same here. I do manage to get things done when she is awake more now as she happily plays on her mat or bouncy chair. Does that work for you st all?

My little one hates being on her mat most times, but at times I can get away with her being in her rocker and she’ll watch little angels on tv, she loves it, well she loves anything on the tv really!
The only time she’ll sleep without being in my arms is on the sofa on a blanket, but she won’t sleep anywhere else, even if it’s on the blanket

That's tough..the only other thing is a carrier so she can sleep on you but you can also get bits done

I went through this stage. I kept putting my lo down for short periods abd if he fussed I distracted him and he started to settle more each time. He will now go down for a good hour in his Moses basket.
It’s tough but I’m sure you are doing great, keep going!

My little one has been like it since she was born, as it’s just her and I 24/7 I think that is also contributing to her being extra clingy! I have a sling so she sleeps on me at times! It’s just tough during the night because she will only sleep cuddling into me, it’s great bonding but boy am I overly exhausted!

Same mine is 3 months on Friday and no change yet! He will let me put him down in the bounce or on the play mat for a little while now but he can’t fall asleep without me!

I had one other thought that’s made a difference to my little one .. have you tried tilting the Moses basket or do sleeper (whatever he sleeps in) up on one side?
