Almost 8 week old held constantly.

My dd is almost 8 weeks old. Sleeps well in next to me crib at night from 11.30pm until approx 7am with 1 night feed. However she wants to be held at all other times. Nap times and awake. Shes literally never off me except for the sleep above. I've read about 4th trimester and just wondered if anyone has experience of this just resolving from week 12 ish with minimal intervention or is this likely to be a long term sleep association. I've no issues with it as such...have a sling to try and get things done...but just wondered if she will get happier napping and playing without being held spontaneously by herself at some point?

If she sleeps well at night, I would carry on as you are.

This is normal baby behaviour. Use your sling. I found mine invaluable.
