Here is an article citing medical research that supports the need to hold your baby as much as possible for the first 3 months. It's called the fourth trimester and there's a reason your instincts tell you to hold and cuddle your baby, it's the best thing for them physiologically and emotionally. https://www.parentmap.com/article/babys-fourth-trimester-helping-your-baby-make-a-peaceful-transition-from-womb-to-world
Holding her too much
So my husband keeps telling me i have already "ruined" our daughter by holding her too much. How can I be holding her too much when I only pick her up to feed,change, and calm her down when upset? He feels she will want to be held constantly if she gets use to it and will cry to be picked up when put down. I think she is too young to actually comprehend that if she cries she will be held as she is under a month old right now. Anybody read any research or articles on if they really will depend on being held if they are too much in the beginning?
