Meltdowns over any slight change in routine

Thanks @Nique
I’ll be Totally honest whilst this can be normal it can also be a big tell tale sign of autism my son was the same still is in some ways and he’s currently in the middle of getting a diagnosis my brother who is definitely autistic was the exact same. There’s nothing wrong with that at all and having autism isn’t necessarily a major thing! but if I were you I’d talk to the doctor about at least getting her tested as there is a massive waiting list at the moment so even if it comes down to it and she isn’t at least you know and if she is then at least you’re able to get any help she may need sooner rather than later 😊
My daughter had a really hard time with things like this so we now have a song for almost everything we do because I have ADHD and I can't remember to do anything the same way every time 😅 After a while she got better and now at 2 and 8 months she doesn't seem to care as much. I would bring it up to your practitioner though because this is also signs of possible Autism as stated above or the beginning signs of OCD. It's so hard to tell at this age so I wouldn't worry to much but definitely worth getting it put on the Dr. radar ☺️
Thanks @Alia and @Sarah good advice. I will bring it up to her pediatrician next time we see her.
Completely Normal Mama. You’re both doing everything right and she’s just trying to figure out her emotions ! She needs all the help and patience from you (easier said than done) but take it one day at a time. It gets better as they get older and get better at communicating with you. Find ways to help her use her words instead of melting down! Redirect, explain what happened, make up silly songs to explain or show what happened, etc. Her being clingy is super normal too. She’s still learning new things and she’s still learning how to be without you! Give her time, don’t rush her, and give both of yourselves grace mama. You’ve got this !!
