My 1 year old has just started to be clingy. It started at bedtime on Sunday night, with him crying when I left the room and has happened last night too and at nursery yesterday and today. Have just been to have him weighed and he started crying as I lowered him onto the scales. This is very out of character for him, he's usually a very smiley chilled out little chap. HV said should put him in cot at night and leave him to it, so he knows who is the boss . I don't want to do that, but I can't bear the thought of broken nights again.
He doesn't seem to be teething and I can't think of anything traumatic that's happened recently (other than I had to spend a night away from home last Weds, but I put him to bed before I left and his dad got him up in the morning, which was probably more traumatic for dh than ds!).
Any suggestions to ease this period would be gratefully received. TIA
