DS2 will be 1 next week and is just getting worse and worse with his separation anxiety. It's got to the point now where if I put him down and move more than about a foot away he starts crying, crawling towards me and grabbing at my legs. I'm going back to work soon and have a nanny starting, but I'm really worried about how he's going to react. At the moment, not even dh can hold him if I'm in the vicinity. He whinges an awful lot and seems to be incredibly highly strung. Anybody else had a baby like this - how did you deal with it, and please tell me it gets better!
