Clingy Babies - What Every Parent Needs to Know (Including How to Stop The Tears)

[@mlina1985]

It's a nice thing to hear that it's a good sign and a sign of strong attachment. I was afraid i did something wrong and my little one is insecure.

[@ahhwe-any7434]

No I think it's so precious but sad how much my munchkins attached to me. Although I'll admit, I feel weird leaving her w/ her great GPA. Or the ex in laws. I kind of feel like ish for not doing this lovey dovey thing w/ them. But they're such a huge reason as to why her dad's crap. Don't tell me u love me when all those xs u acted toxic & expected me to pick up all the pieces, while trying to continue trampling on me. Sigh, it's a process... & I just really don't trust anyone. Plus, his voice is so loud & carries. I just question everybody. My baby for real cries when I leave her though. Tears rolling down that little face of hers & all. I just smile at how cute she is while my heart breaks & I just hafta go on about my days. But she's so happy when she sees me. That smile stays on for a good bit too. Little chunky face w/ dimples & teef teefs 🥰

[@frankydottir8762]

My son is 3 and it started after going to the nursery. One big mistake i made (and nursery staff encouraged me to do it, unfortunately) was that when my son was playing, i sneaked out without saying bye. This made him extremely anxious, he now started following me into every room and bathroom, which he didn't do before.

[@paigelarson9279]

I never liked that daycare tells parents to do this! It made my son unbearably clingy when he was little, so I never did it with my daughter when she started and she was so different

[@ljaycee]

You have the best parenting tips and tricks on youtube! You literally think of everything! This video, like your other videos, hit home - especially this one! I was so boggled by my baby’s extreme clinginess all of a sudden (when she was generally super happy around the other care givers) - any time I would leave the room. This was around the time she mastered the object permanence ball in hole skill. This has lasted close to 3 weeks- she seems to be getting better. Thank you for all of this great info and a sense of validation!!!

Thank you for making this video!

Wow definitely a lot going on for your little one. Early to stand and cruise which is great. I find when they start walking they are happier to be out of your line of sight and explore a bit more. Hopefully the tips in this video help!

I do vid calls every evening while I’m away, but he doesn’t smile when he sees me on vid calls.

[@madalenamenezes3394]

Hi Emma, I love your videos! I think it would be interesting to see a video about the baby feelings. For example when you have a baby that cries when left playing next to you but not with you. When they want to sit but you need to change a diaper and the baby gets fussy. When you see the frustration in the baby of not being able to do something. When a baby fights sleep. And other moments that make the baby upset and how to deal with them :)

[@katroseravingotaku]

Was looking for advice on this as well.

[@trolojolo6178]

Simple, take the kid with you and let him participate/assist in what you are doing right now. Let him help you like asking him for giving you a tissue or a diaper. My girls love to help me where ever they can. If your kid is older and is able to communicate. Give him a false sense of a choice. Which both will benefit yourself. I give you a example, if your child doesn't want to go to bed, give him two options, either he goes to bed alone, or he can choose to go to bed with you cuddling him. Sometimes when my girls are fuzzy to put on a shirt or pants, I ask if she wants to do it by herself, or if she can put it on by herself. And it works, every time. Talking and explaining is the key. If your child doesn't responds the first couple times, be patient. It will come sooner or later. And if nothing works, take your kid with you and let it be with you. Some kids need the close contact with their parents. The world is big and scary. All it wants is the sense of security and being loved. And this should not be punished under any circumstances. Hope my single dad knowledge can help you.

I think my baby know that when the alarm goes off in the kitchen, that I’m going to leave the room for a brief time. Whenever the alarm goes of he drops whatever he’s doing, cries a little bit and runs(speed crawl) to me and holds on to me so tight!

How do you know if it's not just separation anxiety? My son is almost 12 months but has been like this since about 8 months. I am a single mum so he spends all day with just me. He's only spent an hour away from me in 6 months. He starts daycare next week and I'm so worried he won't cope. We have been doing visits to try and help and he'll start with half days. When we're at home though he cries every time I leave his sight and crawls after me. Sometimes he'll cry when I move away from him even if he can still see me. He also started not wanting to sleep in his cot at the same time and wanting to sleep in my bed.

[@mogamataadilpotts5732]

My baby is exactly the same

[@fatimaj7692]

Thank you for the video. Now I understand why my almost 10 month old sob started being so clingy and cries everytime i leave for a few minutes. It actually started as soon i started sleep training, and he now wont let me eveb put him down, i have to be holding him most of the time. Do you think its related to sleep training and would you still think its a phase or is there something i can do. PS sleep training was a gentle one day thing not a long traumatic experience and he goes to sleep happily without fussing so i dont think he’s traumatized.

[@teaaa8339]

I think Covid has made separation anxiety start early. My boy is 6 months and has been like this for a while. 'Stranger Danger ' is also another challenge

[@EmmaHubbard]

Hi @Alice D thanks for the comment. I do hink Covid has had an impact on our babies. Particularly ‘stranger danger’ as they have limited interaction with other people. Also when we as parents are anxious about going out and seeing people - which people are during these times- babies pick up on these feelings and also display them/ appear more unsettled. Hopefully the tips in this video help you get through this challenging phase 😀

[@trolojolo6178]

8 months daycare? What is wrong with all of you. Almost every second person here says the same. This is insanity. Why did you choose in the first place to have a child when you don't want to spend time with it? It's your responsibility to raise a child not of a daycare worker. For my part, I'm just a divorced father and rasing my girls alone. I would never bring over my soul to leave my children at a daycare at such a young age. This is so wrong on many levels. I dropped my job to be there for my girls 24/7. What my ex wife is not ready to sacrifice.

[@alexandraclough4074]

@trolo jolo Not everyone is able to leave their job. We have bills to pay....they don't pay themselves!!! You have no idea nor is it your business, why parents choose to put their little ones into care. Stop being so harsh. Your comments are so unkind. I hope your girls don't see them.

In Australia the recommendation is generally to introduce solids at 6 months of age when they have more sitting balance and better skills. But some paediatricians do recommend starting earlier.

[@nikita6916]

Hi! I love your videos! Is it still separation anxiety when my 5-month old baby keeps on looking at me while interacting with other adults?

[@EmmaHubbard]

Hi @Nikita some babies do display separation anxiety as early as 4 to 5 months of age, but it tends to be strongest/peak at around 9 months of age. I would say your little one is seeking your reassurance when she is interacting with other adults and making sure you are still present.

[@mamarazzi_]

My son is 8 months old. About two weeks ago, we tried to go over to my MIL's house for dinner. He's never been there before (she lives in a different town), and he's only seen her and my hubby's stepdad a few times. She of course wanted to hold him soon after we got there, and that resulted in him crying inconsolably for nearly 15 minutes. This gave me a major anxiety attack, I just wanted to take him and leave. He was probably tired (he'd only had about a 20 minute nap, in the car), and the only thing that really got him to calm down was a bottle (I believe it was a little early for food at that point but it did calm him down). After that, he was fine to just stay with me and play on his mat that we'd brought. However, she tried to hold him again, and he again started crying. How do we combat this? He cried that time for about 5 minutes, until my hubby started playing with him by whooshing him into the air. Needless to say, I'm extremely anxious now about going back over there, and we have plans to go there for Thanksgiving :/

You could try giving him a box or bowl of toys to go through while in sitting as this will keep him entertained for a bit longer but sounds like he might be starting to enter separation anxiety and wants to be with/near you. Just reassure him when you leave to go into another room you will come back. Plus the other tips in this video. Hope that helps!!!

Okay I need some super urgent help! I have done everything, my baby(10 months) is okay exploring on her own for 5 minutes but she just cries and cries and cries after that and wants to be picked and held constantly. I don't know what to do. I am kind of a single mom - dad and family are in another country. Help if you guys have any trips

What about a 1 month old? He refuses to stay with my mom and we live without th her. He cries until I get him back from her and then boom silence. She’s super sweet too idk why he hasn’t taken to her yet

Hi Emma my little one is not letting me do work in the kitchen. He is ok if I am sitting near him but as soon as i go in the kitchen he will just crawling to the kitchen and stand in my legs, and started crying all the time. Which makes my life hard. I try to give him some boxes to play but he is ok for few minutes and again starting crying for me to pickup him up. Sometimes i am so frustrat about it Any tips?

My baby is 14months old now, she is presenting separation anxiety is that possible or is it something else ?

I made a mistake by sending my 2 year old to nursery for straight 3 hours and 5 hours without settling him to the nursery also another mistake was I did not say good bye. He now has developed fear and is very clingy and don’t want to be in the place where children are playing. Any suggestions

Is this thing possible in 4-5 months of age? I can't even leave the room and go to the toilet without my little one crying 😟
