I recommend you get a sling, soft carrier. They really are a life saver. You will be able to do what you want around the house and bub will be close to you which is where she needs to be right now. Don't be fooled into the whole "letting your baby manipulate you" "making a rod for your own back" saga. It doesn't exist in these early stages. Babies need to be close to their mummy's. Try to follow her lead, there really is no text book baby.
