baby

Wow Rapid, I feel for you on this. I personally never went through it, but have given suggestions to friends on the issue. You have to pretty much use a weaning process with this situation. Also, in figuring out this issue some vital information is needed. For instance, is this an only child? Are there other children in the extended family or your friends homes that the child can interact with? Are you a stay at home mom? If there aren't any other small children around or if you are a stay at home mom, this is a classic case of what happens. The child needs to interact with other children or adult family and friends to learn how to adapt without you around. Please let me know more detail so that I can try to be of better assistance in helping you with this situation. I'm a mother of 6, and aunt of 3, and a godmother of 2. So, I've seen many different situations and would love to be able to help you with this so you don't go stir-crazy.

Be patient and accomodate her need to have you nearby all the time, and she'll get better in the near future. It's a normal phase at this age.

kids this age is on the separation anxiety mode. My 9mth+ DS oso the same. If we are sitting in the living room watching tv, either 1 of us stand up to go toilet or kitchen he will start crying. No matter how the one who is still with him try to console him, its useless. So we let him cry till tt the other party walks back to the living room.

When my baby was still around that age, she would cry whenever I am not around and then stops when I get her. What I tried doing was to wear a sling so I can do household chores. And I also made her busy by giving her finger foods or activity toys and let her sit on her baby chair while she eats or plays. In this way, she can learn to not always cling to you. When you need to do something that will not allow you to carry her and she cries, just let her cry. It won't hurt her to cry. :)

My one year old is attached to my hip. It makes me crazy. She follows me around the house whining all day. I can't even use the restroom. I have just started to ignore her when she whines. Becasue she does it because she wants attention and the only way to get her to understand it won't work is by ignoring her. Other than that I have no clue what to do, but it will only spoil them more to pick them up just becaause they shed a tear.

You can try and bring her with you anywhere you go.Sometimes they just want to know you're there.

That is a tricky problem, and my daughter went through that when she was a touch younger. I dealt with it by distracting her with toys, movies anything else. I felt that she needed to learn to have her own time and space. I know she was young, but it needs to start early otherwise she will turn out like my cousin. Age 10 he was still attached by the umbilical cord :P Not literally, but he would NOT leave his mum alone. Not even for a shower or to use the toilet!

That's a normal stage, if you have to leave the room, like to use the restroom, yell out "hey baby, I'm just in the other room" so she can hear you. Start playing peek-a-boo with her, like with a blanket, so she gets that if she can't see you, you'll still be present for her. If you want to get some work done around the house, try baby wearing, there are many types of slings, pouches, carriers etc available on the internet.
