I think this all sounds really developmentally normal! Most kids go through a period of separation anxiety. My son is a massive mummies boy and even if his dad tries to give me a cuddle he pushes him away says no and then lays where dad was laying giving him evils 😂 If I’m trying to do something my son won’t be held by dad has to be me so even if dads free I often end up doing something with LO sat on my lap or beside me! Point being it’s not anything you’ve done, your LO is just being a toddler it’ll pass x
This is a normal phase that all children go through at some point or another regardless of whether a mother has anxiety or not. You are doing a fantastic job, she sees you as her safe person and that's why she behaves this way. You haven't done anything wrong! A sassy little girl is hard on her parents but she's also exactly who the world needs more of! You're raising a queen! 👑
This behaviour is SO normal at this age. Seperation anxiety spikes around 18 months and will last a while. It’s normal as they still very much need you to survive. By holding them and picking them up and comforting them when they cry you are ensuring they feel secure and your meeting their needs. Honestly, long term, doing this will make your LO more secure in future relationships. It’s not your anxiety causing this. Xx
Hey hope you're okay. He has no idea the stress of our babies crying does to us. You are doing your best, and that is all you can do. Remember this is just a phase and I know its easier said than done because people tell me that too but it will get better. She just needs you. You are doing great mama ❤️
