It's very normal for a baby to want to be held and close to mum all the time. It's a big world outside the womb and it takes some getting used to. I think you are doing a fantastic job, recognising this and giving your little one what he needs. It is a very tiring time for a new mum, but it does get easier. From about the 8 - 12 week mark (although I hate putting time frames on things as all babies are different), babies start to become more alert and gradually more independent. In the meantime, it can help just to know that looking after this baby is your "job" for now, and everything else can wait.

Keep up the great work hun.
