She is to young to be spoiled. I know that it may seem like you can, but at this age her wants are her needs. Look into purchasing a sling or Mei tai. Slings are great for little babies that do not sit up on their own, but Mei tais can carry more weight.

PermalinkShe's still a little young to be "spoiled" most books and magazines will tell you to "spoil" them all they want until about 6 months.

Permalinkmleone is right. At this age her wants are her needs right now. I used a sling with my daughter and it worked very well. The closeness to my body and the motion of being carried around soothed her. (plus it gave me 2 free hands!) Besides, it probably calms you to hold her, which in turn will soother her and anyone else in ear shot!

PermalinkMy husband made a ring sling for us and it worked wonders! Like SassyJenn said, I had both hands free and was still able to maintain a sense of closeness with my daughter. Also, keep in mind that it's actually pretty normal for babies to start this type of behavior at around eight weeks. They are testing to make sure that their needs will be met; if their needs are met promptly they will develop a strong sense of security.
Good Luck!

PermalinkNOT spoiling. She is still so new to this world. Having gone from being in your warm cosy womb to being placed alone in a bed. How scary! "Where is mom?" she must be thinking. By picking her up your telling her she is safe. Try swaddling her along with using the sling.
I also want to suggest that you and your husband get more information about babies. Read parenting magazines and books. Knowledge can be comforting.
Hang in there, she will be running away from you very soon and you will remember all this cuddle time fondly.

PermalinkI have read lots of books and magazines and they all say what everyone else is saying here, that she is too young to be spoiled and this is exactly when they begin to test their surroundings. It is good to respond to her, it creates the securty she is looking for.
Enjoy it! As you remember with your first I am sure, this does not last long!!
