Fellow moms: tips for getting your baby to let you set them down so you can get ready?? My daughter is 9 days old and this is how I have to get ready every morning. If she’s not eating, she is screaming. I don’t think she is actually hungry, just using me as a paci. She is gaining weight very well according to our pediatrician. My husband went back to work today so I’m to figure out an alternative to having him play with her while I’m getting ready. She likes her paci but also can’t keep it in her mouth quite yet.
