Clingy baby

Is anyone really struggling with a clingy baby right now? Honestly I can’t even move 5 feet away from her without her screaming the house down nevermind being in a different room!! She used to be absolutely fine and all of a sudden it’s like she wants to be in my skin! My mam used to be amazing at settling her, now she can for a few mins then she’s off again. It’s definitely not needing feeding/ sleeping/ pain because literally as soon as my hands touch her to pick her up/ take her back she’s absolutely fine. Now while I love the bones off her I really really need a break and then I’m also worrying about going back to work in 3 months time and she’ll just be screaming all day!! Sometimes to the point where it sounds like she’s going to choke on all the bloody saliva she’s creating when crying! Any tips/ advice to a touched out mama? 🥲

I know you might have already tried this but have you tried sitting/lying her on the floor in front of you while she plays and then gradually move away each time. Printing out a photo of you (I know it sounds ridiculous, but I work in a baby room in a nursery and this sometimes helped)

Yes feeling this literally can't leave the room for 2 mins if I try going anywhere and leaving him with anyone he will scream the entire time until I get home x

I could’ve wrote this post myself! My baby used to be absolutely fine and consolable by my mum and sisters but now she will cry and cry until I take her and then she’s fine. Idk what and when it changed!? 😭😭😭😭

Is it teething? Is it a phase? Please someone tell us it will go back to the way it was soon! Same as you, I am worried because I’m going back to work in 3 months also

@Chloe I haven’t actually tried that but I will!! Hahaha I don’t have a printer and don’t want to frighten anyone else having to print a photo of me mind hahah 😂 x

@Kat aw no really? I haven’t left her since she’s been like this and I’m so worried about exactly that her screaming the whole time 😔 did you leave him long? X

@Rabia it’s really tough isn’t it 🥲 like I love that she’s got that bond with me that she wants to be with me all the time but I also want her to be good with other people too like she used to be! She even now cries when my dad or her other granny picks her up when she never used to! And my dad she’s seen the same amount as my mam so I don’t understand that one at all x

Yes 😩
