Not quite the same, but I am interested in your replies... My DS has gotten VERY clingy after being so sick for a fortnight. I think he got used to the attention and cuddles and change in routine, I am having trouble coming back to normal with him...

One think I can think is your 3yr old has more maturity and understands his emotions a little better, and sees that mummy was just away, and coming home, where DS2 is struggling to come to terms with that concept. And I think all you can do is what you are, continue to reassure and work toward getting that independence back. Well that is what I am trying to do...

Good luck babe.
