Sometimes they just go through phases of not wanting to be alone especially when they learn object permanence but its like weaning them. Slowly start leaving the room more and more time every day. Let them cry for like 30 seconds to see if they will calm down and start playing. Also I know it sounds like everything you dont want but try not to hold them all day
I put my son in his pack an play with many toys (toys that do music or lights up ) an stuffies and some teething toys at first he would cry as soon as I walked away but now he will play with his toys an roll over by himself for atleast 30 min , sometimes I will put some baby music on too and he likes it
Following for ideas
My girl is going through the same thing. Before she was play by herself in her pack and play for about an hour before whining but now as I walk out of sight she cries. We’re Working on it
This is normal! Babies can develop separation anxiety at this age because they can recognize that we leave. It seems to help my baby to set him down in his playpen where he can see and then play some peekaboo around the corner so that he can tell that I’m just around the space and not completely gone
Sounds like it’s just too much separation for baby to bear at the moment
My baby was like this until I set up our play yard in the house. It has mesh sides but allll of his toys are in there and it has helped tremendously
