Desperate first time mum

[Brighteyes]

DD is almost four weeks old and extremly clingy. I have to hold her constantly otherwise she screams so hard she makes herself sick. Even when she falls asleep I cant put her down, she wakes within ten mins and cries until shes picked up.

Things are getting ridiculous. I didnt manage to brush my teeth yesterday until dp came home from work to hold her.

During the nights I only manage to sleep by snoozing on the sofa with dd sleeping on my chest.

Please help, I'm getting desperate and my house is starting to look like something out of Life of Grime

when we was sleeping on the sofa she would sleep on her tummy lying on my chest. Now we are co-sleeping she slleps tucked in beside me lying on her side

other things that helped me would be to get dd a comfort blanket, and i would put my dd's to sleep on their fronts, as they were familiar with it from lying on their fronts on top of me

isn't that dangerous though?

it isnt advised, i know, but i did it and they are fine

my mum did it to us lot and we are ok!

You could get a babysling made to your own specificaton! My sis had a c/s too, but she got a sling made for her! I think she got it on www.goddessmums.com

hope this helps
