Extra needy baby
Why does my one month old baby seem to all of a sudden seem more needy than before? It seems I can't do anything anymore without at least touching him. And how do I fix it? I go back to work the end of next week. I really would like to just brush my teeth!!!

You can also try a sling or snugglie to carry him around in.
My daughter also fights sleep so we swaddle her (we use this thing with velcro to keep her arms down) take her to her room with a low right, have soothing music on, and either rock or bounce her and she eventually falls asleep. It's best if you can do it before they get too worked up about being tired. But consistency is key. Don't give up after only a few minutes of him crying. Keep rocking or swaying and he will eventually settle down.
It will get worse!! My 3mnth old is awake alot during the day, but sleeps from 9pm-630am.
