Avas always been clingy with me and her dad but she's getting worse. My mum was taking her this afternoon for a few hours but had to bring her back early as she was hysterical, as soon as she saw me she was fine and laughing straightaway. I dont know what else I can do, its lovely that she's so attached but i don't want her to be so upset the minute i'm gone.

lewis went through a phase of this..he'd scream if i put him down, moved away from him or left the room...one day he just stopped...nothing we did at all, he just decided he didn't like us that much

could you maybe try leaving her for a few mins, then coming back, then going again and coming back, gradually over days/weeks extend the time so she realises that yes you will go, but you'll always come back

soz, prob not much help :S

i read/heard on tv that's what you're meant to do, be worth a try!

I have tried that but she's fine when we're in the house, when i go out with my mum and dad and wander off for a bit she's fine as well

Even when me and OH are there if anyone else tries to pick her up she's hysterical.

Tayla still goes through stages of this Today being one of those days!

I think at that age it's very common and should just be a phase that passes... they realise they're separate to you and do get separation anxiety. Tyler used to be like this but he's getting better

lewis got over his literally on the day he turned 9months...just thought 'fek it' and stopped screaming after us...thankfully cos he was driving us insane!

i went to my mums for dinner tonight and everytime they even looked at her she was hysterical, then my mum blames me and says its because I give her too much attention!
