I disagree. Puddin' was 6 weeks when we got her and when she showed signs of anxiety, I picked her up and cuddled her. She is now 12.5 weeks and does quite well for extended periods of time on her own, in her room with her basket, toys, food, and pad.
If you don't relieve their anxiety, it won't go away. I actually considered making a sling to carry her around in so my hands could be free, but she got over her anxiety before I got around to making it.
He's a tiny baby and if he's been removed from the comfort of his mother so young, it is his owner's responsibility to take her place for the time being. There is no substitute for a heartbeat, body heat, and the hand stroking that simulates his mama licking him.
