5 month old suddenly very clingy

[FTMtoMarti]

So as the title says my LG has suddenly become extremely clingy. She's always been a bit clingy but now it's to the point where if I put her in her play gym or jumperoo she cries to be held.

She been whinging a lot too which is slowly driving me mad 🥴

She's content if I put her on my lap and she'll happily stay there all day but the minute I put her down anywhere she'll scream.

Please tell me this is just a phase 😫 I'm a bit worried as she's not playing with her toys as much due to this.

She will still grab them and rattle them but she just doesn't interested anymore 😫

Love to hear your stories x

Ah forgot to mention she loves baby wipes 😂 as soon as I put her on her changing mat she's turn to grab them

I don't think it's separation anxiety as I'm sure she'll be held by anyone... not that I've tried that yet but I just don't know why she's become like this recently x

Is it more not wanting to lie down? My 5 month old DS wants to sit perched at the tip of my knee to nose around, also stand on my knee. He hates lying down while awake. I have to put him in his jumperoo. He likes being carried round the house and nosing at everything.

I suppose it could be. She didn't mind being on the floor before but now she's only in her gym for 5 mins max 😑 now she can roll both ways she seemed to enjoy it more but in the past week she just wants to be on me.

I've tried the jumperoo which again she used to love jumping around in but that's stopped too. 😫

She just doesn't seem happy unless she's with somebody. I've noticed she likes sitting up but she hasn't got enough strength yet to sit up straight. She can sit without support for a few minutes but then she'll cry and want to be picked up again.

I find she sometimes goes through these phases. She'll have a bad week and then she'll be great the week after but I'm just hoping this one is a phase too because it seems the worst one yet 😫 x
