DD Screams every time I leave the room
Hi,
Anyone else experiencing this?
Since Christmas has been and gone my DD has suddenly started screaming the place down whenever I leave the room. She used to only do this if she was getting tired or a bit tetchy. I used to be able to leave her playing in my living room while I nipped out to put washing on, or get her lunch ready.
Now, she literally goes crazy the second I set foot outside the room. And I mean full on tears and the 'I can't breath because I'm crying so much' type of crying. Am having to carry her around with me everywhere.
Has anyone else experienced this? Is it just a phase?
Thanks,
Edie xx

Im hoping its a phase because its upsetting to see him like it
I was going to post to ask if anyone elses lo doing the same
I thought that maybe she has been spoilt over xmas as my hubby was at home and we were visiting family so she had constant company and attention. Hmmm, it is so difficult. I can't even leave the room to go to the loo without a full on melt down.
Really hope it will stop soon!
Take care,

Just a lil information I have on my side, I had read this for my elder son on Baby center some 2 years back. All this while our babies think they are part of us.. and suddenly now they have started realising that mommy and me are different bodies and mommy who is my world at this moment is leaving me and going. Its this fear that makes them cry. It takes them some months to know that mommy will be back if she is gone they will then start adjusting to your disappearance. But this separation anxiety is there to stay for sometime.
My DS did the same at that age. I started telling him mommy will COME BACK stressing on that word. So even when he went to nursery later on and I said this to him that mommy will come back... he was fine there and knew that mommy will come back to pick him up.
sorry about the long post... but hope it helps
