All of a sudden, LO wants to be held constantly!

LO is 6 weeks.  He's always been fine to nap in his PNP or the Newborn napper on the coffee table or next to me on the couch.  Often he'd fall asleep in my arms and i'd move him into one or the other where he'd continue his nap no problem.  But over the past few days, every time I put him down after he falls asleep in my arms, he wakes up crying and can only be consoled by being held...where he promptly falls back to sleep.  I adore holding him, but it's making things like eating, going to the bathroom and showering difficult.  Is this just a phase?  Any suggestions?  H still seems averse to the swing and the bouncer...

DD went throught this too at about the same age. Unfortunately, for her it never really ended, but it does for most. ::hugs::

DD had this stage up until 6w--lots of crying and we didn't know why.  But, I hear from a lot of moms that weeks 6-8 are really tough.  Hopefully it will pass in a couple weeks for you.  GL!

A phase.. H did the same thing to me right around 6w...

Thanks, ladies!  

Knock on wood...I let him fall asleep in my arms again then swaddled him while he was asleep...this seems to be working, as he's been down for longer than any period over the past few days.  We usually just swaddle for

I got a carrier for Vincent at a Once Upon a Child (secondhand baby/children store) and he loves to snuggle (and so do I)

My Mom always tells me give them every snuggle they want now, so I am glad to oblige. Dishes can wait.

We are having this issue right now, too, though only in the evenings... All day long, B is fine. But starting around dinner time, he just wants to be held constantly- and only by me! No DH, no swing, no bouncer, just me. Which is frustrating for both D
