Somewhat concerned.

Ever since the colic passed, my daughter has continued to be a Velcro baby. She won't let anyone but me hold her, she screams if I put her down, do tummy time and she won't even nap if I'm not physically on the bed with her and wakes up if i move. Her dad is doing almost all the housework, cooking, etc. He can't even hold his own daughter for longer than ten minutes. This applies also to her grandma, great grandma, grandpa, aunties, just everyone. I love her and will be there and do everything I can to see her smile. But I'm worried about it. Scared she won't hit proper milestones like rolling from back to tummy, crawling or walking at proper times. No one has hurt her she is loved and cared for. She is coming up on 3 months old. Is this normal? She screams like she is dying BTW it isn't just a normal cry when other people hold her. I'm so concerned and frustrated, not with her but with constantly not having more then 5 minutes apart from her all day. I rarely get to shower or cook or clean up because of all of this. Yes I baby wear but I have a bad back so I can't always do that. Someone tell me this is normal please.

This is most definitely normal. My daughter also had really bad colic. She is 10 months old and has gotten better at not being held 24/7. She will allow my bf (not bd) to hold her and play with her. I went through the same EXACT thing. If you ever need to vent or just someone to talk to feel free to message me.

Thank you so much I was going crazy. I thought I was just a horribly parent 😕

It’s normal mine was getting like that (2.5mo), they don’t know yet that they’re their own person so they feel the need to be close to mommy. They can sense the hormones you give off and that’s why they can tell when you’re not there. Even in sleep. Just be patient and take in the cuddle moments and try not to worry because they can sense that too
