Clingy baby 😱😱

My baby is 3.5 months and still wants to be held 24/7. While I love it I also need some time and don’t want to “spoil” him. Is that even possible at this age?

What are some tips to get him to be a little more independent? Do I let him cry a little when I put him down? FTM so appreciate all the help and tips!

Thank you 🙏🏼
