My dd is 26 months old, and we are expecting our second child in May. Over the last few months Chloe has become more and more clingy with me. It has gotten to the point where I ALWAYS have to be in the room with her, otherwise she throws a major tantrum. She is fine at daycare and being looked after by other people, but when I am home, she will not leave me alone. She follows me to the toilet, tries to pull me off my chair when I'm eating dinner, and won't leave me alone at all. This means of course that despite his best efforts DH spends very little time with her because she throws a tantrum. He has been so patient with her, and I really feel sorry for him because sometimes he really thinks she doesn't love him (not true of course).

I don't know if this is normal 2 yr old behaviour (I know the tantrums are, but what about the clinginess), or if it is because she knows we are expecting a baby. We have talked to her about the baby and tried to include her in preparations for it as much as we can. But I don't know if it is all a little too much for her to cope with. Has anyone else experienced this and what did you do about it?
