Ohh will be watching with interest, was about to start a thread of my own on this... DD2 is 6mths and is VERY clingy, if someone else takes her (incl DP) she cries of screams, if i leave a room and she notices or sees me she screams.. MCHN said it's seperation anxiety but she has been like this for MONTHS.
She is fed to sleep at night, is FINALLY back to going to sleep on her own during the day or in the middle of the night but otherwise she is basically held or i am sitting with her or beside her during awake times.
Some of the things i have tried:
* Getting DD1 to interact with her more (although she does A LOT)
* Letting her cry (just a little) when i leave the room and getting DD1 to try and distract her - this hasn't been working though.
* She's sitting now and i have found she likes BOOKS so i sit her with a book and walk away.
* Put her in the holly jumper so she can see me
* Use my baby carrier when she's being a right PITA
* When she is happy i have told DP he needs to interact with her more rather than letting me deal with her while he deals with DD1, i want her to know he is 'safe' and although he doesn't have boobs he's just as good with her..
Will watch what others suggest, i need some ME TIME aswell before i rip all my hair out.
