Can't put LO down!

The last few days have been so hard, as little one starts fussing which escalates to screaming whenever I put her down! She is 6 weeks tomorrow and I know she has entered the growth spurt stage, but I don't know if that has anything to do with it. I know fussing is ok, but I don't believe in the "cry it out" method so I end up picking her up. I can't get anything done! Any advice? Anyone know if it's just a phase or am I creating a habit by always picking her up?

Thanks ladies, glad I'm not alone I have the Moby wrap but I'm not a huge fan. I just can't seem to get it down...I'm afraid it's too lose and LO will fall out! Maybe I will look into the K'tan.

I have the same "creating bad habits" concern! I'm afraid he's getting too dependent on me to fall asleep will never get him into his crib

Wonder week 5.  It'll end soon and you'll have a happier, calmer baby.  And you aren't creating a bad habit by holding your infant.

I'm dealing with the same thing and the peanut shell has helped me get some stuff done while she is right next to me.
