2.5yo DS has always gravitated to me in preference to DH but it's recently hit ridiculous levels and DH can hardly go near him right now without him screaming "No! No!" pushing him away and shouting for me.
Obviously this is upsetting for DH and hard work for me as I can't get a moment to myself.
There has been a fair bit of disruption recently which has unsettled him (I am on early maternity leave so he's seeing more of me and less of DH, plus DS has just started a new nursery).
I'm not sure if this is a phase we need to ride out or whether there are things we can/should be doing to help his relationship with DH.
Honestly not sure how I will cope with the clingy behaviour if it continues into late pregnancy or when the new baby arrives!
