My 6 week old baby refuses to be put down. After breastfeeding, she either will settle in my arms (rarely) or sometimes struggle and cry. When I put her down, she cries and fidgets all the time. I don't know what's wrong. I had burped her, diaper is clean, she's well not feverish. Tried singing song to her, talking to her. Tried walking her around the house, she was quiet for 1-2 mins before she got bored and struggled again. I'm so worn out. Any recommendation on how to soothe baby or how to let baby settles?

Have you tried babywearing? Some babies need more attention than others. At this age, they are still very new to the world and need to be close to their parents. Try wearing your baby in a soft-structured carrier, woven wrap or ringsling. That way, you have two hands free to do your chores or whatever you want to do without having to carry your baby. You can also try swaddling her with a muslin cloth. I especially like those from Aden and Anais. http://sg.theasianparent.com/swaddling-101/
