Your baby is still young hence would love to be held by you. Consider using a ring sling or baby carrier so you can be handsfree to do your things and have a happy baby? They will outgrow it. Don't worry. For a 10 week old, can consider these carriers: - ring sling - Kokadi Flip - Emeibaby - JPMBB PhysioCarrier - Ergo Adapt etc. Ring sling would be less warm, easy to machine wash and quick to dry. Downside is that baby's weight is on one shoulder so may not be ideal if you have a back/shoulder problem or a heavy baby. Usually mummies use ring sling first and switch to the buckle carriers when their child is heavier and with good neck control, around 4 months old onwards. Here are some local online retailers for ring slings. Prices start from $65. - http://www.warabeehs.com/#!sling/c1ddf - http://www.jarsoffluff.com/collections/ring-slings - http://smoochsmoochbaby.com/collections/ring-sling - http://www.fluffmail.com.sg/collections/ring-sling - http://www.careringsling.com/collections/carering-sling-textile - http://13thirteen.com.sg/shop/index.php?id_category=31&controller=category Videos on using ring sling with newborn https://youtu.be/e2BCdRfQAvQ https://youtu.be/bRdGksTvDwk https://youtu.be/d5s64mUBea8 Consider joining https://www.facebook.com/groups/babywearingsg/ for more info on babywearing and baby carriers.

All infants love to be held. When you hold your child, you stimulate pressure receptors that help his body relax.

It's natural for babies to cry and scream when they are put down/can't see you, it's a survival mechanism built into human beings, a sense of abandonment that kicks in pretty quickly in young babies because they can not survive without somebody else. At 10 weeks, it's not as if she's consciously thinking "I want just some attention, I'm going to scream until I get it". Be patient and it'll get better with age.

It certainly sounds as though she is for attention. She is getting more alert and aware of her surroundinqs and is experimenting how she can call for attention. Try talking to her and showing her toys. You may not need to carry her all the time.

i think she is trying to gain your attention. She probably feel secured when u carry her. Try to distract her a little, sing her a song and see if she gets better. Need to calm her a little :)

she feel unsecure talk to her nicely that you would like soft tones, and reward her by giving her favourite foods.
