Beginning last week, LO will not let me put him down. The exception is when we swaddle him and put him in his bed overnight, but whether he's awake or asleep he cries unless he is held.

It's getting tricky since I have to EP and I have to try and work around that as well..,,

    Mine is the same way. My pedi recommended that I get a sling or carrier and simply wear him until he grows out of it.

    I agree with the suggestion for a sling or carrier.  We have an ergo, and I just put Luke in that and do what I need to do.  He usually cries for the first minute or two when I put him in it, but once I start walking around, he's out.  I
