[Sweet211]

My baby girl is 2 months she is so attached don't know what to do she likes sleeping on my chest soon as I put her in Moses with in 15 mins she wakes up I tried putting her in the tiny love 3 in 1 bouncer too I can't get housework done

Have you tried a sling?

Fourth trimester. Completely normal.

(Housework can wait, surely?! You'll never have this time again!)

Totally normal. Leave the housework :)

Fourth trimester as mentioned, she's still so tiny, you're all she knows/wants.

Yeh it's not all housework it's just cooking I manage to do it when she's asleep from 5am till 8am don't want her to get in habbit in being in arms all the time my oh is at work all day now and don't live with inlaws

She's still tiny. There's plenty of time to worry about bad habits in the future. She's used to being safe and secure in your womb so feels safe when close to you and is able to hear your heartbeat. I found going out, for walks, to baby groups or for coffee helped- just meant I was holding or feeding her with a change of scenery!

sling really helps :)

She's far too small to think about bad habits. Right now she has only needs, not wants.
The reality with clingy babies is that you dont get much done some days. And that's ok.

Really normal - this is what a baby should be doing at this age! There's no such thing as creating bad habits or 'spoiling' a baby that tiny. A sling can be helpful, but try not to expect too much of yourself.

Yes!!!! Mine is the most attached baby.

Some days we just watch movies while she sleeps on my chest. My back/shoulders are aching so much that I cannot do anything else but sit on the sofa.

My garden and house live the life of their own these days. My OH works abroad during the week and is so tired that cannot do much of the housework or gardening.

You just have to let it go for a few months/year (hope not :)).

Sling works some days but not everyday. When it's hot it's no good and sometimes she just hates it.

Sometimes however it is a godsend and I can do some watering in the garden or cooking.

A lot of food is very simple or ready meals.

Good luck and as PP say enjoy it!

Look at it from her POV, a few weeks ago she was inside you, warm and snug. You are now giving her the reassurance she wants that you are still there.

Agree re sling and low standards. Give her the gift of knowing she can rely on you, as she develops she'll settle.

My clingy baby is now 9...still sneaks in for a cuddle all night.
