At this age, babies still love the security that you provide them with your touch. You can get a sling or carrier and wear it in the house and get things done.

If you don't want to do that, you can try slowly getting her used to being put down. If she cries, don't make her cry for more than 5 minutes. Make sure she has plenty of toys to keep her occupied when you do this. You can touch her, but don't pick her up. She should get used to this pretty quickly and realize that there are fun things to do out of your arms.

I always loved putting my babies in the swing or in a bouncer. They have a good time with the motion of the swing or the toys on the bouncer, and I get work done.

the baby must need plenty of touching to get her assured that you love her...
