I agree with Karen, 10-11 weeks is a very short time to be home and start encouraging independence in your children. Hold your daughter as much as she needs you to, and use the Hip Hammock, if you can. I also like the suggestion to hold her on your lap, then on the floor, etc., with gradual steps of seperation and comfort. It will get easier, although I know it's hard now. It is very important to address the attachment issues now, rather than worse problems later. I have some good tips from Deborah Gray that I'll PM you.
