Separation anxiety

[Eeyore85]

Good afternoon

My little boy is now 13months old, it started at around 10months, I know it is a phase.
However it seems to have gotten worse. I am his primary care giver. No childminder no nursery.
Partner works 6 days. So I need some helpful advice I don't want to be cruel.
I can't even leave the room sometimes no tears just follows me, even if other family are with him he just wants me. I love him dearly and give him plenty of attention and playtime we cuddle and it is lovely, but he is just acting heartbroken when I leave even to wash up. He climbs my legs and sobs his heart out. It is hard I talk to him tell him I am leaving the room. Even making our lunch he has to sit in his high chair. If I sit in the front room he will happily play but if I move he is right there. Is it something I have to live with? Does it get better? Can I make it better ?
Please 🙏

I think it's perfectly normal at this age and I found the best was to deal with it was to take them with me.

So if you go upstairs, have a little box of stuff form them to play with up there.

It does pass but I would agree, just take him with you. I used to give mine a saucepan and some wooden spoons to bang at that age in the kitchen.

That's exactly what I did too Maddie
