Are all newborns clingy?

in Babies: 0 - 3 Months

I am just wondering what everyone elses LO's are like. Our DD is a GOOD baby, she rarely cries and is not fussy. The only time she does cry is when she wants to be held. Lately she's gotten to where she will scream if you set her down, but returns to her happy self as soon as she's picked up. So it's not gas, she will do it when she is clean and fed... so she really just loves being held. I'm getting a sling to help, so that I can do stuff around the house easier.

Are all newborns this way? My family of course is saying "dont spoil her" blahblahblah.. I just prefer soothing her and keeping her comfortable, and if she wants to be cuddled 24/7, I don't mind. She's only 3 weeks old. :P

Just wondering if it's just a newborn thing, afterall, they were all cuddled and cozied up inside us for 9 months.....

    Pretty much!..DD is also a really good baby..and the only time I can seem to set her down wide awake is in her swing after her morning feeding and we transition to the living room..She wont fall asleep unless shes on my chest also..I picked up a moby to get stuff done around the house..

    She's' too young to be spoiled!  I say, enjoy all the cuddle time you can and keep that LO happy! : )

    My LO is only a week old and she is very clingy. She rarely wants to be put down, but im grateful I have so many willing people in my home that want to hold her so I can still get things done round the house. But for the most part she wants her mommy. :)

    I love that she wants to be held all the time even though it can get tireing. They wont be this small for long so im tryin to enjoy it

    You can't spoil a newborn, it doesn't matter what people say. 

    I wish my LO would want to be held all the time but he is happy just sleeping where ever I put him.  Enjoy it because like people said, it won't last for long!

    Mine is the same way... and I go with the theory that you can never spoil a newborn. I am having the issue that if someone else is holding her and I walk into the room (she hears my voice) she screams and only wants to be held by me. The second I take her in my arms she is happy as can be. She even does this with DH, so this has gotten quite annoying. But everyone tells me she is fine when I am not around.

    lol no. reese tosses and turns when being held for too long. and she wont get into a deep sleep anymore if youre holding her. she's always cracking her eyes open (prob bc 2 other kids are bouncing around).
