My 5 month old has become extremely clingy in the last week. She only wants me, particularly by the evenings. She has always been a cuddler, but would be quite happy for Dad to take over in the evenings and he could get her to sleep. This week she doesnt want anyone else, looks at me and starts to cry if I hand her over to anyone else. She is wanting the boob more than usual too (definite comfort sucking going on). She is pretty happy in the mornings, getting progressively worse over the afternoon (I can hardly put her down at all), and then has to be put to sleep by me.
If my husband leaves the room, he can eventually settle her, but as soon as she sees me again, the tears start up!

Its a beautiful feeling that she only wants me, but so frustrating and tiring too!

Has this happened to anyone else? Is it a developmental stage?Teething? Am I doing something wrong? She hates her pram by the afternoons too and our daily walks are now done in the baby carrier after 2 walks where she cried like an abandoned child for 40 mins in the pram (stopping instantly on being picked up) I thought she was too young for learnt behaviour!

Any advice would be grateful
