Am I holding my newborn too much?

Real talk - is there such a thing? My in-laws keep saying I need to "let her cry and self-soothe" but she's 6 weeks old. I feel like the whole "you can't spoil a newborn" thing is true but I'm paranoid I'm being overindulgent. When I hold her she settles immediately. When I put her down she cries. So like... I hold her. Is that wrong? My wife seems fine with it but her mom keeps making comments about how "clingy" the baby is getting.
