Hi my lo has been a good baby since birth and has been able to play on his own for quite some time. Lately however he has become quite clingy and has been using his favorite word 'up' alot when he wants one of use to hold him
. There haven't been any changes in his schedule or development lately and I put out plenty of objects from around the house including his toys to keep him occupied. Each activity however keeps him occupied for about 5 min. until he comes back again and says 'up'. So I'll usually take out another object and the cycle continues. He loves books and will bring a book and we'll read it, but still afterwawards he doesn't want to play on his own. I will say to him, "You don't have to up right now. Look you have lots of toys to play with." But then he gets upset and starts fussing
. I am not sure what's going on or what stage this is. Lo also embarrased us the other day at a friend's house when he insisted on being held the whole time even though there were toys that he had never seen before and was fussing and throwing himself back when he did not get what he wanted. My lo is usually a friendly, chilled-out child and usually loves to explore new things. Anyone else have this problem? What do you think is going on?
