Crying unless held

Jessica

Okay mamas I am starting to go a little bit crazy on leave. My 5 week old screams unless she is being held, like as soon as you try to pull her away from your body to even think about putting her down she starts screaming. She was born at 35 weeks and for the first few weeks we had a pretty great routine and this just started over the last 2-2 1/2 weeks. I am so scared I’m not going to be able to find someone to watch her being that she wants to be held all the time. Anyone else went through this? Car rides and showers end in tears for the both of us because I’m just exhausted. I don’t want to wish time away, but I’m hoping there’s an end in site for this phase 😭
