My one year old has never been easy but she's going through a really difficult phase (it's been months) where she's hanging off me 24/7. I can't leave the room. She screams, follows me around the house, if I'm playing with her on the floor I can't even stand up without her crying for me. I'm carrying her around constantly to keep her happy. I wouldn't mind at all but I also have a 3 year old who needs my attention. It's really draining me. I don't go back to work until next week & have 3 full days alone with both kids this week which I'm worried about because I'm getting stressed that I can't split myself in half for them both. When does this phase end please helppp

@scrabbledabbl Being with a baby like this can be overwhelming can't it? If you just give into it though and understand that right now she's figured out that you can leave her and she's worried that you will, in the end she will get better.

Play a lot of Peek-a-Boo so that she gets used to you momentarily disappearing, in a fun way and literally take her everywhere with you. I used to keep a small basket of things for them to play with and just take them from room to room with me at this age.

Are you getting some adult time each day too? I think I would have gone crazy if I'd stayed at home every day Flowers
