11 weeks old baby clingy

My 11 weeks old daughter refuse to sleep on her own. I tried to carry her to sleep and then placing her on the bed or cot but she will end up waking up in less than 5 mins. Tried rocker too but she is a super light sleeper. Even if we wash something in the kitchen, it will wake her up. She won't nap more than an hr lately. She can only sleep at night but during day time i have so much difficulties that i can't even do any house chores. She expects me to carry her all the time. HELP!

i feel you. my 6 weeks old baby was like that too at one point. i keep explaining to her that mummy need to do housechores and cook, mummy tired carrying you so mummy sit beside your cot, kind of thing. tho i know shes too young to understand me, its good to communicate with her. let her know youre still there like once in a while touch her or kiss her. ensure shes fed, swaddled tight, diaper changed and so on. it takes time for them to 'understand' what we said. just keep trying.
