separation anxiety> Or some other phase I don't know about yet?

[hairtwiddler]

DD (2.2) has suddenly started to behave quite differently towards me. She's super clingy, and screams 'Mummy cuddle!' until absolutely hysterical and in my arms. This is lovely at times, but very inconvenient when I'm trying to make her lunch! Won't sit in booster seat, only on my knee etc. Nap time has gone completely, and she'll only have 'quiet time' if I'm in the room.
She's fine when I'm out of sight, and toddles off to nursery no problem (DH drops her off though).
Am a bit worried as have plans to leave her at grandparents next week while we have major work done to the house.
Any tips?

bump anyone?

OMG It's like listening to myself!!
My DD (2.1) is not sleeping at the moment unless I'm in the room. She is demanding cuddles and hugs constantly, at completely random times like in the middle of tea.

I've been told to bear with it and let the phase pass.... not all that helpful really

Kangaroo-ing? Or elastic band syndrome... Likes her independance, but still needs to feel that you are there when she needs you. If she's going off happily to nursery...thats good. My dd is superclingy at times and dissolves into tears at the dinner table 'mummy love mummy love' when she's sat next to me. She's 23 mth btw. Its a normal phase of development...just give her the love she needs (within reason...I get the needing a hug when I'm preparing lunch too...) the more you give, when she wants it, the less she will need you when she grows up

I like the term 'elastic band syndrome', seems much more appropriate in this case!
We've put her in a new room tonight, and had no fuss... but I did bath and bedtime, to avoid hysterics for Mummy. She's with her dad all day tomorrow, so it'll be interesting to see the reaction when I go to work.

My dd cries and does the 'mummy love, mummy HERE!' at the door as I leave (okay to do the dishes!) 2 minutes later...she's happily playing with daddy... not saying your dd will be the same...but give it 15 min after you leave the room, she can get cuddles from her dad as well as from you.
