Please tell me I’m not the only one!
My 6 week old will not let me put him down during the day, if we do he screams bloody murder and gets himself all worked up. Only settled and sleeps during the day if being held / in contact with someone.
Is anyone experiencing the same?

That's just a normal baby, tbh! They've spent 9 months living inside you so the next best thing is your arms now they're out.

Yes me too. 6 week regression in full force 🥲it will get better don’t worry x

Totally normal for your baby not to want to be put down. But you can start by building up the time gradually or playing with them into it holding them so they know it’s okay not to be held. We contact nap still at 4 months…

That’s normal. More worrying if they don’t do that.
Also I think it pays off later if you keep them close with you lots in the initial months.

Yes my daughter was like this and still is 3 years later. I use to carry her around the house with a mommy wrap. She loved it she would sleep for hours and be happy.

Yep normal. It's not a velcro baby it's 4th trimester struggles. It can be challenging but if you look in to 4th trimester you should be able to find some ways you can help with the transition

Constantly got him in a sling

My daughter was the same, especially as I breastfed she just wanted to be close all the time she also had reflux and colic being put down wasn't comfy for her. I struggled so much and did not realise that it was normal for babies. I think as mum's the whole journey is a shock at this stage. My daughter is now 15months old almost and isn't cuddly, now I miss those sleeps and hugs. Xx

Same here! 6 weeks tomorrow and so far has only settled on me and my mum! We were due to be away with family but I don’t know how I can put her in the car now! I wear her in my sling too and have asked more people to come over to help me around the house and to hold her while I shower! Just telling myself one day I will long for her to be glued to me xxx
