Why Won’t My Baby Girl Stop Crying???

Question

Nova is 7w3d (yes I deleted the app and had to make a totally new profile 🙄) 
She is SPOILED she cries just to cry. No seriously!! I have fed her, changed her, rocked her, held her, cuddled her, EVERYTHING!!! She’s not colicky, nor is she gasy. I think she just wants mommy to hold her 24/7 but due to my csection 7w3d ago my back KILLS me and I can’t constantly hold her. I mean I do but it KILLS ME!!! I don’t want to use the cry it out method cuz I’ve done research that states that it can make infants and newborns feel abandoned and/or neglected.... and they can potential grow up to be more aggressive and “”rude”” but I seriously don’t know how to break her out of the habit. Granted she’s barely into 2m but am I missing something???? 
I am trying my best to be the best mom. Loving, kind, caring, funny, helpful and understanding... but I can’t spoil her so bad that she wants me to hold her till she’s 18. Don’t get me wrong I will always be a loving caring sympathetic mommy...but my back is KILLING me. Like I had to walk with her to get her to sleep, I sat down she started crying. 
I don’t mind holding and cuddling her but my house needs cleaned and I need a shower 🚿
****EDIT***
Sissy is just a mommy’s girl and is being needy. She just wants to know her mommy is around and I’m perfectly fine showing her that. She’s my world and I’m just gonna enjoy my baby wearing days 💖

Accepted Answer

It’s impossible to spoil a baby that young. She’s not spoiled. She’s a 7 week old infant.

Answer

Cry it out isn’t effective until babies are more able to self soothe at an older age (6mo I think?). We did it with our son and he is fine, kind and polite etc so not sure how it makes them more rude etc. You need a break and it’s hard to let babies cry but as long as they are fed and winded and dry then can go ten mins while you have a shower. It’s not a crime they need us to look after ourselves so we can look after them x

Answer

She is not spoiled. 
Don’t brand her with labels so early on. 
You get what you think about, so think about what you want. 
Babies have no forms of communication besides crying- she’s not throwing a tantrum, she’s communicating. She could be saying different things: she’s tired, she’s lonely, she’s bored, she’s scared, she’s hungry, she’s dirty, she’s overstimulated, she’s got, she’s cold, she’s in pain, she’s got gas or she simply wants some physical touch or needs some comfort. 
I try to hold/carry my babies as least as possible or as short as possible while they sleep and maybe about 1/3 of the time when they’re awake. 
If they’re tired/overstimulated- I feed them, change them and throw them in a stroller/car seat and cover it so it’s dark and rock it. This will either or them to sleep or help them calm down again. There’s a lot of things you can do for your baby that don’t require you to hold them. You just have to teach them it’s ok to self soothe.

Answer

My second was like this...nothing wrong with her...she just liked to be held...she outgrew it by 4 months give or take...she’s six now so it’s hard to remember exactly...but after she outgrew it she was a perfectly happy n content baby who did well playing on her own for the most part while I did chores or whatever. Good luck. I promise it doesn’t last forever

Answer

Baby wearing is where it's at. As for showering, I'd say have somebody else go on baby duty so you can squeeze in some me time. My baby boy is 4 months old now.

Answer

Babies need a lot of attention mines still like this if I leave her site she cry’s like somebody pinched her or she got hurt if i leave her side for a second!!! Forget about it ! The world ends for her she’s almost 5 months I think it’s a form of separation anxiety. I read somewhere once even a dog doesn’t like to stay alone

Answer

She does sound colicky if she is crying “for no reason”, or she could have a dairy allergy, or reflux? My son was that way, he had both. I kept getting told he’s colic, over & over & he would scream constantly, like 15+ hours of the day, he barely slept.  then we took him to a THIRD opinion because I was getting no where with my paediatrician or MY doctor  & they said to try hypoallergenic formula & he was a completely different baby, he also had to be put on meds for his reflux. (I was breastfeeding up until we switched) 
it’s impossible to spoil them that young. They’re transitioning to life on the outside just as you are transitioning to life with them. It’ll get easier. Try carriers, or maybe a swing to keep her in movement until you figure out ways to make sure she’s comfortable and happy!

Answer

she's way too little to be spoiled.. I had a c-section and slipped discs in my lower back and I carried my son everywhere and held him all the time. When he was 4 months old I had back surgery and was told I couldn't lift more that 8lbs, my son was 13lbs... I didn't care, I still held my baby non-stop. I carried him for every nap until he was 13 months old. My son is 2 1/2 yrs old and isn't spoiled. he's independent as much as he can be. He sleeps in his room alone for nap time & all night. Holding your newborn isn't going to kill either of you. For back pain, change positions often, walk around/ go on walks. Also see a doctor if it's that painful.

Answer

can you try a baby carrier? my daughter was extremely demanding as well (and I had a C-section too) and the carrier allowed me to do other things and helped with my back. for bath time I cheated - the TV was my best friend.

Answer

you can't spoil a baby,  you're literally all she knows.  she was inside you for 9months now she's in a big, loud open world.   hold her while she is little. babies nurse for alot of different reasons not just food.
