PICK UP! A newborn needs LOVE, LOVE, and MORE LOVE. The baby is much too young to be crying it down. Newborns definitely need skin to skin with you as well.

My son is 7 months old and I still pick up when he sometimes cries and he just needs a cuddle. My son hated being swaddled so we did it for about a two weeks and then just found other ways to make him feel safe and secure.
