Soooo clingy
« on: November 18, 2007, 03:40:47 am »
Screams if I leave the room. Half the time is only happy if sitting on me or right next to me on the floor or sofa. If I manage to distract him and leave the room he will cry if he happens to see me. I can get nothing done! carrying him from room to room is exhausting. Picking up, sorting and laundry all require lots of separate rooms in a short time. Does it get better? Anything to make it better?

hello!!

sounds like it could be a bout of early separation anxiety!!  the good news is that it will go away; you'll just need to help that process along.  can't say for sure how long it will last - depends on your baby.  but here's some good ideas to help you through the transition:

check out these links in:
General Sleep FAQ (will be good if the SA starts to carry over to sleep times
separation anxiety

discipline board - thread of tips for SA
tips for separation anxiety

and here is a link to a recent thread in Discipline about a mommy whose baby had stranger anxiety (the baby is a little younger than yours, but there is lots of great info there)
stranger anxiety

HTH a little!!  :)
