Baby needs to be carried ALL the time - please help!
For several reasons, including bad reflux and colic, we spent the first 8 weeks carrying our LO a LOT! She needed to be kept upright a lot of the time and cried constantly so was carried a lot of the time. Now that her reflux seems to have improved (she is 10 weeks), she is still understandably wanting to be carried everywhere as that is all she is used to. She will sometimes spend maybe 10 minutes on her mat or 5 minutes in her swing but after very short period of time, cries to be picked up and carried. Also, going anywhere in the car is a nightmare as, 5 minutes after being in the car seat, she screams to be picked up.
We have so far tried everything - the swing, bouncer, baby carrier, play mats etc but nothing will entertain her for longer than 5 minutes. We have tried letting her cry a little (which absolutely breaks my heart so I can never do it for any more than a couple of minutes) but she gets herself worked up into such a state that you just cant leave her like that.
Also, she will only fall asleep in our arms - has to be asleep before we can put her down for the night and if we try to put her down for a nap during the day, even after falling asleep in our arms, she wakes up!
Can anyone help with how to get her used to being put down please please please?
TIA!
