clingy baby/wants to be held always - nearly 6 months

A sling was great for me too, DD was prem and got her teeth early too (4 months) so she always wanted comfort from me. The only way I could do it was with a sling, I used a ring sling, it was comfortable and she could snuggle into my shoulder. It only cost about 30 from ebay.

Yep, my DS was exactly the same, I found that he was getting frustrated cause he couldn't move around much. Now that he's crawling he's a much happier little boy and can entertain himself a little more.
It does get better so hang in there!

Mine is nearly two and has been like that for most of her life. I sympathise, it is very exhausting.

I agree with the others - look into a sling and try some babywearing. It satisfies bub's desire for closeness, and yours to try and get things done.

My DS2 was like that (and still can be at times) from ages 4 - 8 months. The more mobile he has become the happier he is. It was tough going for a while there, but it does get better. Some babies just need lots of snuggles from mum .
