Insane clingy stage?? Help!
I’m hoping to hear others are going through similar as I honestly feel like I’m drowning. My son for last few weeks who’s 20 months has been insanely clingy with me. I can’t do anything without him clinging onto me and crying. I’m even weeing with him on my lap as I can’t deal with meltdowns. He has always been a shit sleeper but somehow this has worsened and he’s awake for 2/3 hours at a time at like 1am and we are co sleeping. I love him to death but I feel suffocated.
Anyone else gone through this extreme fussy stage. I feel like I can’t take him out alone as the meltdowns are too much for me to handle so sleep deprived.

We’re just coming out the other side of this (I hope!!) sleep is improving and he’s finally going to sleep for his dad again 🙏🏼🙏🏼 I know everyone says it’s a phase and they’re right every time but it doesn’t make it any easier to handle! Sending lots of strength!

Aw that sounds so tough. Not to the same degree but my little boy is definitely more aware of me being there or not and now he can say mummy he's calling for me loads and getting more upset when I'm not there or go upstairs etc which he didn't used to do. Also he cried for the first time at nursery drop off a couple of weeks before and was clinging on which he has never done since he started at 11 months. Also sleep has got a lot worse. We were on a couple wake ups generally now or can be 4+ (we cosleep too after first wake up, sometimes he'd get to 1 or 2am in his room now it's more like 11pm)
