It seems as though we have hit the attachment issue stage with Jasmine. And it is getting really frustrating... I cant get anything done or even sit down for a minute without her whining and hanging off me.

She also does nap alot and gets uup really early.... Too early for me 6am comes way too fast when you never get to sleep in anymore.

She gets played with tons, we go to baby group etc, we are always outside and at parks etc doing things.

The other big problem is that the last couple times I've brought her to my moms for her to babysit, she hasnt donw well... She has been going there since she was a month old and was fine, but yesterday she cried and fussed the whole time, and my mom could only get her to eat something when she was really hungry (like hadnt eaten for 4-5 hours). She also totaly refuses to drink a bottle from anyone else now... and alot of times the sippy.

This is really frustrating, I am going back to work the first of september. I've always take her to my moms and other placs to get babysat so we would be able to avoid this... And it happened anyways.

Anyone have any tips on getting them unattached?? lol

I know what you mean about not getting anything done around the house. Savannah is like this when we are at home, but she's still good at daycare so I can't offer any advice sorry hun. This may sound bad but I tend to let her cry for a bit before I pick her up.

No real advice but i can sympathise as Brooke is going through this stage at the moment, she played up for my mum and screamed the house down when she was supposed to stay over there 2 weeks ago, i had to go pick her up and bring her home. Yet she's been staying there overnight every few weeks/months since she was a newborn

When we are home i just have the let her CIO if i need to get things done, theres really no other option, if i didnt i wouldnt get anything done, though i do try to do as much as poss when she has her naps

hmm ya I usually just try and ignor her for a bit sometimes too, she only has 1 nap and it isnt always long so I usually sit down and eat lunch then.... I just feel bad lol. And this seems to be getting worse, not better.

thanks guys.

I'm with you there on it feeling like it's getting worse. Hopefully it eases soon!

Jess was exactly the same up until she hit 9.5months mark and I was back in work and she started crawling. She loves her independence now.

I got the point where I was holding her all the time and trying to get things done at same time- it was frustrating. I couldnt even leave the room without her bursting into tears.

I figured out much later that it may have been down to teething and plus me going back to work has helped to de-tatch her clingyness.

lol teel, thats the prob, she CAN crawl and she is also cruising and standing... So I cant even leave her anywhere... She follows me around.

see archie is kind of like this but not so much now he can crawl.... he just follows me round but he wil defo whinge when hes hungy or tired and i leave the room my god any1 wud think im gone forever lol. but he is a real whinge bag if my sister has him....hes fine with my mum and eveyone but i think it helps that since birth so many people have held him played with him that hes used to going to others. have u tryed a baby wallker like so she can follow u that way ....annoying now ya cant leave them now he gets the wires and everything. oh to think i got to do this all over again soon lol x

I found with Brenn, when I did try to ignore his clinging, he only clinged more. It is just a phase, and she will get out of it soon. I just gave Brenn the contact that he was needing at the time. She is realizing how big the world is around her, and its really scary so she just needs the support and to know you are there. Brenn is starting to move out of it now, as he is more agile on his little feet.

lol I guess I am just a big mean mommy then cause I cant hold her for 15 hours a day... That just isn't realistic...
