Separation anxiety in a 6 week old??

[Taurean]

I'd say it's a Wonder Week too. The first is at 5ish weeks and his 'symptoms' sound typical of a WW. Babies also tend to 'wake up' around that time so that could be freaking him out a little.

Lots of reassurance and maybe try the slings again. DD loved being in the cradle position in a sling (her head next to my heart) so that really helped with WWs.

I hope the phase passes soon

My DD was the same at that age. Had been happy sleeping alone and heaps, then it all changed. Just go with it and wait till he's more settled again
