Advice please 🥹

My 2.5 week old has suddenly become clingy and cries most times during the day when being put in her Moses basket. She was a content baby before and everyone was commenting saying ‘how easy’ I have it as I could leave her in the Moses basket and she would sleep. She’s not really napping during the day either. What can I do? My partner has gone back to work today as well and I’m struggling to get anything done. I feel like I’m doing something wrong :( As soon as I pick her up she stops crying and is content. Any advice please ladies from a first time mum who is slightly desperate:(

Can you baby wear? I have a wrap that I’ve used since a few weeks old and it’s allowed me to get stuff done. But at the moment, baby doesn’t realise she’s a separate human and all she’s known for the last 9 months is the comfort and protection of your belly. Now the big wide world is scary, she’s too hot/cold, she’s hungry and all she wants is the comfort of her mumma. She’s not clingy, she needs you. Dont stress about the things that need to get done, they can wait. Hold her tight as these weeks absolutely fly by. My little one is 8 weeks now already. Is there any grandparents who could come over and watch her for an hour whilst you do a few things? I also did that so I could spend an hour in the greenhouse but know that I was just outside if she needed a feed. You’ve got this mama! It won’t be like this forever xx

My little girl is exactly the same she was 3 weeks on Monday. I’ve been wanting to get bits done but have realised if I can’t do everything that’s okay. I’ve been reading online that they just want your comfort sometimes because we are all they have known for those months being inside us and can recognise our heart beats and smells. It’s okay to pick them up and have cuddles too. People say it’ll make the baby needy or spoilt but it won’t. As newborns they apparently cannot soothe themselves so need us to be there for them. I know it’s hard but try and hang in there lovely you’re doing amazing 🩷

My boy is so clingy, he's currently 5 weeks and has only got more fussy when I put him down. He's pretty much attached to my boob 24/7

My baby is nearly 3 weeks and is Excatly the same, only started yesterday! I had also said how easy she was that she’d nap in the moses basket and be all happy and now she won’t let me put her down and typical daddy went back to work yesterday!! I feel like I haven’t got anything done but I’m also soaking up all the cuddles as I know she won’t be like this forever!! Luckily I have an extremely helpful husband who comes straight in and wants cuddles so I’ve just hovered and dusted upstairs whilst they nap on the sofa!
