Clingy

Hi! Is anyone else in the same boat, of extreme clingyness from their little one? I timed a gap of how long she wasn't on me, touching me or next to me, and the longest was 10 seconds! She will not play by herself, she won't sit by herself, she won't sleep by herself, I cant even go to toilet without her stood next to me with her hand on my knee 🫠 she's been like it for a month, and I'm a little lost of how to break this cycle, I'm overstimulated, overwhelmed, touched out and a little bit on the edge of a breakdown 😂 thanks x

My Dec 2021 LB is the exact same. I actually can’t remember when I last had a shower or have been to the toilet on my own. I had thought it was maybe because I also have a 5 month old so thought my eldest was craving attention but it just hasn’t gotten any easier. I am extremely touched out at the moment and it’s driving me crazy. No tips I’m afraid, just solidarity!

My little one is exactly the same at the moment it’s insane, im a single mum so can’t even swap out with anyone. I can’t shower, eat, sleep without him kicking off hes awake till 1 in the morning every night and only sleeps if it’s in my bed and even then it’s a challenge. He’s even having to cook dinners with me and help me wash the dishes else id get nothing done. Cant have a phone call or text cos he gets mad 🙉 I get to the point where I like shiver if he touches me especially if his feet touch me in bed I heave 😂

He even keeps trying to wipe me when I go to the toilet!🙉

My Dec 2021 boy is the same this past few months - although I have put it down to his baby brother crawling and annoying him / playing with his toys and getting more of my attention when he falls etc so the toddler feels left out? He also used to go to bed and sleep but now I have to lie with him in bed until he falls asleep and he wakes around 5am and comes in beside me most mornings. 🙈 Although I had put that down to when he had croup in June and woke up in bed and couldnt breathe...which scared him... So I'm not sure, maybe it's all coincidental?

@Cody hahaha my little girl exact same now! I sneak off to the toilet and next thing she stood next to me pulling toilet paper off wanting to wipe 🙈

@Cody the same, doing it alone is hard!! Wanting just few mins to eat or drink or reply to a text 🙈 I have to wait until she in bed to shower but most nights I have zero energy left so can’t actually remember last time I showered 🤔 😂 I’m already in bed for the night and it’s only after 8 🙈🙈
