My son only wants me to hold him!!!

my son is 8 weeks old, and is extremely attached to me. I believe it is because I am breast feeding and bonding with him. How can I get him to relax without me holding him? And to let someone else hold him?

    It seems to me babies like to be held different ways from different people. My LO likes me to hold her towards me on my shoulder, my DH holds her facing out on his chest, my mom holds her laying down on her forearm.
    The best thing to do is let the person experiment with different positions and not hover. Leave the room or house if the crying is bothering you. If you are anxious the other person won't be as relaxed and the baby will respond to that and keep crying.
    Don't give up! =)
