Seperation Anxiety...pls help

Great, the more we act normal, the more out babes accept that it is normal and then thier anxiety drops and they adjust to the situation.

If we over-react to their anxiety, it just fuels them to get more anxious and more clingy.

Glad you have managed to work through it - my heart also breaks when I leave my baba - and she is standing looking through the security gate sobbing like her world is ending.

Makes me feel like a right shite mother!!

Thanks ladies

I read up on it and realised that it is perfectly normal.....I was really worried but this morning I gave him a kiss and hugged him and when I gave him to MIL he didn't cry. I also explained it to hubby and he understands...

My daughter is exactly the same (8 months). she stays with my mom in the day and she is fine but the moment I walk in she refuses to be with anyone else and only wants me.
she also does not want dad at all and will cry and moan untill I take her and then she's fine.

I know its very difficult trying to get stuff done around the house with a baby in your arms.....

When she's in her walking ring and I am in the shower, she will come stand infront of the shower and wait for me even though her dad calls her.

Apparently this is just a phase.

Good luck - I know how you feel

This is so normal.

With my eldest, he only wanted me when he was younger and it hurt his daddy so much but it was soon reversed and he then only wanted his daddy and not me.

With Kyle now, he prefers to be with his daddy but I know it will change and I will have my chance.

Dont stress, its only a phase they go through. I know its hurtful but try explaining to hubby that it is not a permanent thing. He doesnt have to worry that Z doesnt love him, I promise you, Z loves his daddy just as much as he loves you

It is perfectly normal for a baby to become clingy at this age. They are now realising that they are not part of you anymore which is stressful for them. Explain this to hubby and reassure him that in a month's time he is going to have a super fan and you will be ignored. They tend to favour one parent over the other from time to time.

ADVICE PLEASE LADIES

For the past 2 weeks Zia has been very clingy and only wants me. He does not want his father at all. This causes a problem because it really hurts hubby's feelings. Also it puts allot of pressure on me because I constantly have to be with him, it's difficult trying to get the house clean with a baby on my hip.

Now Zia is not a shy baby, he loves people and interacts with everybody including family memebers, but lately his mood changes when I just step out of the room.

Is this seperation anxiety? Is this a phase? and how do I deal with daddy's hurt feelings (he actually pushes his father away

My heart was shattered this morning when I dropped him off at MIL place, he cried such a heartsore cry. usually he waves bye-bye, now he cries..
