I can’t put my baby down

Honestly ours was like this for ages! She'd be crying as soon as you put her down and hated nappy changes. Over time it was a few seconds then to minutes, and now approx half an hour. We also got baby Bjorn bouncer and it was life changing! She will now sit by herself - we were at friends house and tried it and by accident she sat there quietly 😳 Only this week we figured that she can start only sleeping herself (we're 15 weeks now), other than that all were contact naps and we still only co sleep. I hated when everyone says that it's a phase, but it really is x
My first one was like this. I learned to do everything with him in the sling (literally everything). He grew out of it eventually. It is hard. Sending you lots of strength.
Oh my god mine was like this and it was so difficult so I feel for you! The turning point was 3 months and it almost changed over night! Hang in there it won’t be forever! X
I’m dealing with this too- Not happy on his playgym or mat or chair. Constantly needs to be held. I’ve tried a sling and it helps marginally but there is still tons you can’t do easily. Sorry I know this isn’t advice but just wanted to say I’m here with you xxx
Mines very similar, both mine are very much velcro babies - even at 3 she's still obsessed with me. It is hard but try a carrier or sling and my little one is OK as long as she can see me now. It will get easier, they just love their amazing mummy ❤️
Mine was like this, I really feel for you. I felt so exhausted and so sad about the impact it was having on my poor exhausted toddler and our relationship. Then all of a sudden (around 10 weeks I think) she turned a corner, and she LOVES being put down to play on her mat now. It's been such a game changer!! She still won't really nap unless it's on me but at least I have some freedom when she's awake and playing, so I can play with my toddler. I do think it coincided with her reflux improving a little as well as before that being on her back was so uncomfortable. It is really tough, utterly exhausting, but I'm hoping you experience the same - just keep trying and he will one day enjoy it, but in the meantime please ask people to help! Xx
