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.

I think maybe what you can try is after you put her down, you continue to pat her to sleep and slowly slow down the patting then stop? Because my bb was also like that all the way till about starting of 3months then when I put her down, as long as I am beside her, she will sleep. But bb at 6weeks still need to feel the ‘comfort and safe’ from the mother☺️
