Baby cry’s every time I put her down

Mentally struggling with my baby not being able to be put down for more than a minute- we also haven’t been able to do tummy time for more than a minute because she just screams the house down. The only time she isn’t crying is when she is in my arms. Any tips from other mothers that have had a similar situation?

Sending love 🩷 your little one is just really attached to you which is beautiful but obviously hard sometimes. Xxx

No tips but im in the sane situtation atm so sending love ❤️

I completely understand how you feel. I often find myself in the same situation, wanting to escape the overwhelming moments. However, I remind myself that for her, I am her safe haven. Soon enough, when she starts crawling, she may not want to be held as much. One thing that has really helped me manage housework without her crying in the crib is using a sling. It keeps her close to me, while still allowing me to have my hands free.

Same mine also screams the house down! Doesn’t wanna stay anywhere more than few minutes. I have been trying all different things but no luck yet! It’s just so so exhausting!! So totally can feel you xx

I'm in the exact same situation, it's so tough . Baby carrier is the only thing I find I can get things done. Planning ahead to make life easier... home delivery for food shop etc

Few things.. swaddling, practicing putting baby down in their cot without them being asleep so that they can self soothe and white noise. My boy is now almost 4 months old and during the first two months we were loosing our minds but then we’ve implemented those and he naps in his cot and sleeps 12 hours at night with 2 feeds so pretty good going 🤗

Re tummy time, someone recommended trying it on a yoga/birthing ball and I've found that has helped my girl a bit x
