Nothing. Just wait it out, all very normal Smile

Yep, very normal Sad My DD was the same, she wouldn't go to anyone but me for many many months but is now a daddy's girl at 3.8yrs Smile

It's normal, but an absolute pain. I hope you get to have a break once in a while. It will pass.

Thanks you all!!! It is a pain sometimes because I can't get a break unless she is sleep because she wants to be under me 24/7. But it's really gets to her dad because he feels like he is doing something wrong and this is our first child.

I shouldn't really comment here, because we adopted when youngest was already 2.5. So feel free to disregard.

If you go out and are thus not around at all, how long does she keep up the crying or whatever for? Or do you have a vicious circle of never daring to leave her?

ADD2 cried every other night for about 2 years when DH took her up to bed (we alternated). She would cling on to me, it was heart wrenching. Sad But generally by the time he'd got her into the bath (or even half way up the stairs) she was happy and smiling again Grin . It was the parting she couldn't cope with.

Knowing nothing about young babies, I would suggest you try physically absenting yourself more often.

I leave her everyday to go to school and she is with him but when I get home she is a totally different baby! While I'm at school he sends me pictures and videos and she is just fine! But when I get back she acts totally different towards him.

Frustrating as it is for you, it is completely normal. My DS was like this and now age nearly 2, he doesn't bat an eyelid if I disappear out of a room.....it is hard work and tiring, but she needs you, and it's only for a short while....
