@Jodie I hope it’s a phase but to be honest always been very attached to me..always had to constantly entertain him, hold him in my arms., sleep next to him..and since he was born i couldn’t do much..specially around the house..initially i said i will take 2,3 years off to stay with him but i can’t mentally do it for so long..and i feel guilty for it..but next year i’m planning to get him in the nursery at least 2 days a week so i can take a breath..sorry for the rant 🫣 I hope your situation improves soon too 🙏🌹 and thank you for encouragement 😘
My little girl has been the same, literally she has to be in the bathroom when I'm showering 🙈 if I leave the room she would get upset and that too was even if she was with her dad! I'd say it's definitely separation anxiety as a little bit of hope.. my little girl the last few days have been better with me not being attached to her. I put her in her play pen distract her with some toys and then 'sneak' out she tolerates solitary play for a little then and gives me time to do dishes or something. If she sees me leave though she gets upset that's why I try and do it when she's not looking but still chat/sing so she can hear I'm still around. I hope it'll ease off for you soon because I know how challenging it it. You got this ❤️
My little one is like this with me, but not her dad! So he always finds it questionable that I’ve got nothing done all day and why I look like I’ve been dragged through a hedge backwards! Plus for me, she’ll only nap in the car so we spend a lot of time driving about 😩😩
@Chloe this is exactly what i’m doing also..but it’s so hard..🫣 this evening i have a friend over plus my partner and they looking after him and he still whinging around the house and comes where i am ..(can’t take a breath)😅i hope your situation will stay better how it is now for past days 🌹🙏
@Philippa i’m sorry you going through the same..😔 it’s so hard mentally..sometimes i look like i’ve been in a war and it’s just not myself 😔 hope your situation will improve soon too🌹🙏
Our LO is the same. What I do is make sure she is changed, fed etc and then if I need to do something I will make sure she is entertained either in the door bouncer - I move it to whichever room I am in, or with toys on the floor and nursery rhymes playing. I then do what I need to do as quickly as possible ie shower, hoover etc. If she cries I know she is fed and clean etc so will let her cry but for no longer than 10 mins while I do whatever I need to do. They do have to learn that you can't constantly be there. I usually try and shower when my 2 year old is also home as he will entertain her for 5 minutes and play with her so it makes me feel better as she isn't crying and is happy. It will pass. My 2 year old was the same but is so independent now. I try and help him etc and he tells me NO, I want to do it by myself
It could be the start of separation anxiety maybe? My little has started being similar to this I can’t do anything until I get her to sleep otherwise she’s upset until I’m back with her it’s a hard slog but I’m hoping it’s just a phase! Hang in there you’ll get through this!🥰x
