Baby doesn’t like cuddles

I feel like I post all the time, sorry! I think I may have PND or something because I can not shake the thought my baby doesn't like me or I've done something wrong. From about 2 weeks old he cried non stop until he was about 6 weeks old. He now doesn't cry too much but he hates being cuddled by me!! Im worried that because I couldn't comfort him much when he was crying, even though i always held and kissed him I've made him hate me.

I had visions of having my newborn over my shoulder cuddling into me but he just doesn't want a bar of it. He will physically push away from me when I hold him over my shoulder or cradle him, he only likes being held facing outwards. I feel like he doesn't love me at all!!!

If he's awake he will happily sit on his own for quite a while and doesn't want to be held. Nap time is a different story though! He won't sleep anywhere other than in a baby carrier but cries for a while when I put him in like he can't bear to be near me!!!!

Has anyone else had this with their babies and they grew out of it? He's 9 weeks tomorrow and would love to know this is a phase and he will love me again!
