Baby only wants mummy

My sons like this and hes now 18 months, hes been like this since he was about 2 months old

Yeahhj, my baby's 8 months as well and wants to be in my arms all the time

Yes my boy is the same at 9 1/2 months

My daughter is 9 months and is the same. The trick is though it’s because you are around. When I leave even if for a few hours she’s just fine. She may cry sometimes but she calms down. Now when you return it’ll be back to being on you but take that needed break or you’ll drive yourself insane.

My daughter has always been about her momma’s business and even at 9 1/2 years old she’s still attached to me, all you can do is show them to learn to be independent, she would stay at my moms while I worked but as soon as she saw me I was hers she wasn’t that much attached to her dad but I’ve always encouraged her to be around him anyway. She is very independent and intelligent but no doubt I’m the one that she goes to for things and though at times can be frustrating it’s improved so much so just hang on momma.

@Brooke I wish I could but he’s EBF and goes no more than an hour to two hours between feeds. He’ll play in the room with his daddy for a while, but I feel like I need a solid 72 hours straight sleep!

@Laura It’s the constantly holding him while trying to get housework done that’s a big struggle! Or even cooking. Thanks mama 🫶🏻

@Fearn same. I started my daughter on solids at 6 months because she refuses to take a bottle… she’s almost 10 months now and still refuses to drink milk from anything aside me lol. I feed her before I leave and her dad will give her a snack of sorts to hold her over. I’m back at work half a day in office. She survives. If he’s on solids feed him off of you and take that break. It may feel harsh at first but eventually everyone adjust. Best of luck to you I know how draining it can be to want just a small break.
