Touch-starved baby

Laura

My daughter is almost a month old, and is the most touch-starved baby I’ve ever seen. She always needs me to be holding her, even when she’s sleeping. When it’s during the day, I don’t mind, because I love her, and love holding her, even when it’s slightly inconvenient. However, bedtime is a different story; I’ll hold her till she falls asleep, then move her to her bassinet. However, it will only last a few minutes before she starts crying, and then I hold her again. The last couple of nights I’ve fallen asleep holding her in my bed, or I wrap her up in a boba wrap, and sit on the couch and we fall asleep. I just need help with getting her in her bed? Am I allowed to let her cry it out? That makes me feel like a bad mom, but I know she needs to sleep in her own bed
