Clingy Son

My 19 month old wants no one but me not even his dad, every time his dad comes near him he screams cries and runs to me, I get in the shower he freaks out.. 95% of the day he’s crying if I’m not holding him or playing with him… any ideas of what’s going on?

Im going through the same thing. It's exhausting. 🫶 Hopefully it's just a separation anxiety phase!

@Rosalie im glad that im not the only one! It’s very exhausting… can’t cook, clean, shower nothinggggg by myself anymore.

Yes exactly! The only time I get anything done is during his nap. Which could be only an hour or 2 a day. He sleeps better at night if it's less than 2 hours though! By the time he goes to sleep at nighy, I want to sleep too!

It’s just a stage😵‍💫 Hopefully, right? I’m in the same boat. Just separation anxiety! I like reading books to her like Llama llama red pajama where it explains that mom’s always here even if she’s not RIGHT HERE. I too shower with my toddler because I am not allowed out of her sight. Hang in there, allow yourself some breaks out of the house.

I have 3 my first Son was like that with his dad until I had to go to work and they had to bond and now they love the hell out of each other my last child I’m going through it but now he is starting to love his dad too it’s a breast fed baby thing lol clingy much

my son is a velcro baby too, unfortunately it’s something you have to push them thru (in my experience). He learned to adapt being around other people but he was go right back to default when I came around. However it’s the only way I was able to get things done. He just needs to know where I am if we’re in the same house
