My DD is 13 months, not walking yet but crawling and into everything. My DP works away during the week, leaves sunday evening, back friday evening.
DD just hates to be left at the moment, even for a minute. If I put her in the cot, she screams her head off. I used to put her on the landing with toys (safe area, with stairgate & bedroom/bathroom doors closed), but now she just stands against the bathroom door and sobs if I do that. If have her in the bathroom with me she explores, licks the floor/toilet, traps her fingers in the shower door (tiny gap), etc, so thats not feasible either. She won't nap until about 11/12, so thats no good either. If I take her in the bathroom in the highchair she mithers for a breastfeed, and gets agitated.
My current solution is to put her in the high chair in the bedroom with cbeebies on, bed & bath doors open, and speed shower. However I feel bad parking her in front of the tv (although she loves it! ). I'd welcomeany suggestions anyone has for other things I could try! Many thanks
