I thought we'd already been through and come out of, separation anxiety (when dd was ~ 9 mths), but has suddenly got bad again. She's with me all day (but we do all have breakfast together), and dh usually gets home in time for her bedtime. She's fab all day, and loves to see her dad when he gets in, but as soon as i leave him to put her to bed (for me to make dinner, tidy up, etc) she cries all the way through her bedtime routine, and is upset when put in her cot. I know it's just another phase, but just wondering what other people's experiences are? How long does it last? Do we perservere with DH putting her to bed until it passes, which seems like making her cry for no reason? DH thinks "she's trying it on!". If i give into her, then will she end up only ever wanting me to put her to bed? DH always been fully hands on dad, we take it turns putting her to bed, but he's getting upset that she cries for me when with her. Sorry for so many questions xxx
