Does your baby cling on to you all the time?

I'm going through kind of the same rhing with my 8 month old. He's content crawling around and playing with toys, but i dont want to leave the room to do other things around the house. He whines if I put him in his bouncer or playpen. He'll cry if I leave his sight. I'm the only one that he lets hold him too. If he goes to his dad or grandparents, it's only for a few minutes...then he wants mommy back. I've heard babies start to go through that Seperation anxiety about now. So maybe, it'll pass.

My son is almost 7 months old now, and I can hardly make him sit down in his baby carriage or elsewhere than my laps. Well, his teeth are coming through and he's become more anxious these days, so he needs my constant presence. I think for any child there are some periods when they just need their parents to be near. I know some couples who could do nothing to disaccustom their children not to sleep in the parents' bed. But some time passed, the children grew up, and now they sleep in their own beds in their own rooms. Take it easy, this time will also pass.

How old is your daughter? My son is 15 months old and he will not let me do anything! He always has to be very, very close to me (as in touching) to be happy. It is really irritating when I am trying to do dishes or wash clothes (by hand) and he is behind me, hanging onto my pants! Working on the computer is really hard, he just screams if he sees me even LOOK at the computer! Luckily my husband takes him in the afternoons and they go out together. He isn´t like this with my husband as much and people say he is stuck on me because I am pregnant with another boy and he is jealous. Not sure if that is true, but I hope so, since supposedly it will end when the new baby is born in a few weeks.

When my son was young I could just sit him in his swing or bouncy and he would be content. I could get things done around the house, so when my daughter was born 14 months later I thought I would have no problem. I was wrong. Since the day she was born she has to be held, I couldn't even put her in her swing to go to the bathroom. Still to this day my son can sit and entertain himself and my daughter is stuck up my butt 24/7. I just have to ignor her whines some times so I can get the dishes done. It doesn't really bother me if I can just sit down and hold her, but most of the time I have stuff around the house to do.

i think some babies are like this, and my son is one of those kinds. he is so attatched to me. he is 17 months now, and is always by my side. if i leave the room, he will go looking for me and calling for me. he wasnt this bad until he was about 8 months old, then he became really clingy. everyone kept telling me he could sense that i was pregnant, i didnt even know i was pregnant, a few weeks later i found out that i was 9 weeks pregnant. so i am not sure if there is any truth to that like guatemom said. i do know that he is super clingy now though. even though there are some days that it annoys the .... out of me, i stop and realize that i had better cherish all of his affection. he is growing so fast, and there is going to be a day that he is going to push me away and not want to give me a kiss becuase he is embarassed of me. :( you know we alllll went thru that stage. ha. so, yes, even though it irritates me, i fight it and hug and kiss him. funny thing is, once i start to do this, thats when hes had enough of me, and then just wants me to put him down. he still stays by my side, but at least he isnt tryin to become one with me. lol.

I've always been close to my mom and so I always have to be around her, I still live at home and I'm almost 22, but in all fairness, I do help with everything here so when she comes home she can have a nice home cooked meal and the laundry will be done and everything.
