How old is she? It's possible she's going through a Wonder Week (basically a growth spurt which would explain clinginess). You cant spoil a baby this young so my advice is to hold her as much as she needs until she's past this stage. If you need to be hands free you can put her in a Moby wrap or we love our Infantino baby carrier. LO conks out on my chest while i do my household chores.
Will she take a binky or go in a swing? If you tend to hold her a lot, chances are she's used to that and won't like being put down. I make it a point to put my lo down for some of his wake times to play on his mat or swing. He doesn't fuss to be held unless he's tired or not feeling well after shots. If this is a new thing, could be a growth spurt.

Exactly this. You CANNOT spoil a baby this young. A baby at this age does not understand manipulation. Hold your baby.
When my little guy is very weepy and clingy and I need to get stuff done, I wear him in the carrier. It's a little awkward to do some things, but he loves it and usually falls asleep.
My little girl hates to be put down as well the majority of the time. There is absolutely nothing wrong with it - she wants me! That's all she knows and she loves it - and to be honest I love it too. I love that she wants and needs me so bad. Yes it can be draining but there is no such thing as spoiling your babe as pp have said. Wraps/carriers for sure could be solutions - I don't do either yet just because i have been too lazy to go and try on carriers to see which I like. lol Aside from that - snuggles & cuddles will be in high demand!
