Baby Won't Sleep Unless She's Carried Or Sleeping On Me

My baby needs to be carried or rocked to sleep or sleep on my body. Once put down she wakes up and not able to continue sleeping. Is this a common newborn thing? She's 6 weeks now. How to train her to continue sleeping when put down.

You should carry her for at least 10 minutes until she's deep asleep before putting her down. You can test if she's asleep by holding up her arm and dropping it, and see if it's stiff or not

Tried the drop hand test but she still wakes up after we put her down. The only comfort is she sleeps after night feeds its only day time naps that she wants to be carried.
