First time I have posted. But i am feeling concerned and down over the past few weeks.
My little girl is 10month old, when she was born I gave up work so I could spend all my time with her. Every week day however, we go to her aunties house; my LO (little one) likes to watch and play with her children and me and my sister are really close. So it's been a win/win situation. My LO (little one) and her auntie have a really good bond, which i have always really liked. As i know my LO (little one) feels comfortable with her auntie if i ever need to leave her with her. But over the has few weeks I have noticed she is very attached to her auntie. For example, if she hurts her self or is frightened of something (the dog or cats), she holds her hands up to her auntie, not necessarily me. And sometimes when she wants comforting, she will seek her auntie, not me. Or just when I am walking around the house with her and she sees her auntie, she will hold her hands out to be held by her. Today in particular has really upset me and making me feel like I am not good enough or doing something wrong. I don't know if I am over reacting, because recently she has been a bit different in general. Pushing me away and putting arms out to others, but then doing the same to them, and putting her arms out to someone else. It's so confusing. I just don't know how I can make our bond stronger? Or if I am reading too much into it, or is this just a normal phase? Help!
