Help really clingy baby

My little boy has suddenly become glued to me, has to be touching me or on me constantly and if I leave the room he breaks down. I can’t do anything, he wants to be held when we walk, he’s breaking my back and I feel so overwhelmed. Pls tell me this is just a phase or what I can do

It is just a phase. It’s a phase I’ve had for about a year but it’s a phase nevertheless. Hang in there. ❤️

@Kristine thank you for replying, how do you even cope? Do you just let them cry out when you need the toilet or even cooking his food it’s just so bad. I went from a very happy baby who would independently play when I needed to do day to day things for 5-10 mins to a very clingy won’t let me do anything unless I’m holding him. My back is in bits

I stop and start things so many times. It’s really hard. I take her to the toilet with me, it’s not easy as sometimes you just want some privacy. Cooking is probably the hardest part. Sometimes putting her in her high chair near where I am cooking and giving her crayons to colour helps, sometimes nothing helps and I need to cook in parts. Separation anxiety tends to peak around this time so it won’t be like this forever.

@Kristine I’ve been losing my mind a little bit it’s just so intense. He has to be touching me or on top of me and he’s quite heavy. Yeah cooking is the hardest part for me as well it’s so hard

Same here, my girl is almost 15kgs. So so hard.
