Feeling trapped

[Motherwell91]

My daughter is nearly 5 months old... and refuses to go to anyone. Even her dad, I can't even go for a bath without her crying. And I don't mean whimpering full on sick inducing screams of baby sized terror.
I feel I can't go or do anything. I already have a 4 year old so this isn't just new mum syndrome just really need so solid advice or some hope it comes to and end.

Basically I need to know what I should do? Shall I wait it out and hope she wakes up one day and realise we don't need to be connected at the hip and other adults are useful too. Or do I let her scream and get over it.

My dd was like this at 5 months. She basically couldn't stand anyone but me from birth to 6 months. She changed more or less when we weaned her and she became less relent on me for bf. Dd weaned very.....enthusiastically and loved her food so seemed to improve with other people as bf decreased. She also started to crawl at 7 months which helped too.

Oh and yes, I did let her scream sometimes. I had to because ds was 19 months when she was born, I had no childcare for the first 6 months and, well despite the sling being great it wasn't the fix all for everything. If I needed a shower I got one. Sometimes I needed to go out and dp took her. Not ideal but needs must.

Thanks for your reply ! it's nice to be told that someone else has gone through it. I kept being told by dp's family members she was too young to be showing these behaviours and was concerning.
