4 week doesn't like being put down

Sounds completely normal to me DO you wear her in a sling to have your hands free?

This I've found a ring sling (not one with padded sides) works best at home for me also if you go down the carrier path please remember to keep bub upright and tummy to tummy not in a laying down C position.

Yes it is very normal and some babies are just more this way than others. I carried my daughter in a sling everywhere for about 8 months
! She always wanted to be on me. I never let her sleep literally on me though as I simply can't sleep that way myself.. I usually slept on my side with her next to me and let her feed when she felt like it. She started walking at nine months and is very happy to toddle about without me now. I often try to give her cuddles and she just quirms away!

My son is 11 weeks and he was exactly like this! I found if I really slooowwwwly eased him down into the cot/onto our bed once he was asleep I could sometimes keep my arms free. He's gotten better now but he still likes to be held for his days sleeps. So I just try to get set up so I have something to do while he naps in my arms during the day, or wear him in a sling. I love the Sleepy Wrap!

I figure I won't be cuddling him to sleep when he is a teenager so I'm just enjoying the snuggles while I can

There is no such thing as a clingy newborn. Remember that :-)

So true! You cannot spoil a newborn... They are getting use to a whole new world so enjoy the cuddles while you can

If it continues, you may want to consider getting your LO checked out for silent reflux....our baby from about 5 weeks hated being in his bassinet or lying down anywhere - I figured he just wanted cuddles too. But at eight weeks we had our check up with the Ped who put him on Losec for reflux, and he was then happy to lie down again

Thanks for the replies, I do love my cuddles but would like to be able to make lunch two handed sometimes! Lol

No plans on housework etc, that's dh jobs for the weekend.

I'm was concerned about her becoming very clingy to me but that seems not to be the case from what you have all said.

She had been asleep on my chest now for 3 hours and that's also were she sleeps at night.

She's just to darn cute to move yet although I have to pee!
I should be doing something else...........

I just want to second The hugabub pp suggested, I had a sleepy wrap (much the same thing) awesome to get your hands back and still carry bubs, my lil man loved it!

Oh yeah I meant to write too that I got a carrier... It meant I could still move, cook dinner etc
Stay strong it won't last forever x
