Anyone else having this too? I can’t put baby down for two mins without him screaming, feels like I can’t do anything. Literally shower or go to the toilet I bring the bouncer in so he’s next to me and he still screams until I hold him 😔
My first child wasn’t like this, hope it’s just a phase but it’s been going on for the past three weeks going abir stir crazy

I could have wrote this myself! 😆
My first baby was a breeze so settled and content but I’m currently napping trapped with second baby who hates being put down ! But Myns only 3 weeks old and it’s normal for them to want to be close to you when they’re so little! I’m just trying to tell myself this stage doesn’t last forever and try to enjoy it

mines doing the same lol she’s 6 weeks tomorrow and has recently wanted to only be held- it’s so frustrating!! But always try to remember that they are only this small once and they will only need you this much once/now! It helps me alot.

My baby’s 4 weeks old this Friday and when I have to many visitors over and she’s being held more then usual we normally have about 24 hours where she’s screaming to be picked up constantly iv had to message my family and friends telling them to reduce how long they are holding her because there’s no way I can hold my baby constantly!

Mines exactly the same even had to have a wee holding her so she wouldn’t wake everyone else up. 😂
My first was so chill in comparison

5 weeks, exactly the same just started in the last few days or so. He lulled us into a false sense of security at the beginning! My twins weren’t really like this either but I guess they always had each other x

Could’ve written this myself 😂 5 weeks old today and unbelievablely fussy, starving all the time, not sleeping at night or only for an hour/2!!!

Mines exactly the same and 8 weeks this Thursday! My first wasn’t like this at all. She’s been like this since 4/5 weeks so not looking like it’s getting better any time soon!

My boy is 6 weeks and the same, weirdly he sleeps well overnight in the next to me though?! But day time, unless we are out and he's asleep in the pram he is crying to be held!
