My daughter was like this until she was 7months old. She was so clingy that if she was on the floor all I had to do was shift my weight in my chair and it would send her into a screaming fit cos she thought I was leaving. I used to rock her for the longest time Til she went to sleep or lay next to her in my bed and then once she was asleep I'd attempt to put her in her cot. I usually fail a couple times a night. It was really hard. I tried a couple times to put her in her bed and walk away while she cried. But I couldn't do it. Then all of a sudden one day she just went to sleep when I put her down. All I can put it down to is that she was ready to do it.
