14 month old separation anxiety

[Srx1]

My 14 mo is too attached to me and particularly these last few days it is unbearable. I can't take three steps without him having a meltdown. I just had to rinse mud off my dog on the patio and he can see me through the door while in the playpen and he was crying like it's the end of the world the whole time. I hold it together but I wanted to scream now. When is this going to get better? He started nursery 2x per week and he wasn't too bad, cried for a bit but eventually calmed down. Help

No words of wisdom but I'm going through the same thing except my DD still cries at nursery drop off. Same age and same number of days at nursery as you. She also won't go in a playpen and although I've baby proofed as much as possible there's still things she tries to get into constantly which could hurt her. So I take her everywhere but then can't concentrate because she is pulling to stand on the toilet then falling over, going in the bin and pulling out hazardous things, etc. It is so stressful.
I'm assuming this is a phase and it will pass. You're doing great hang in there xx

Thank you 😓 Same.. hates the playpen when he needs to be closed in. Oh he cries at drop off. But he eventually calmed down. But I fear he might struggle this week. The only thing I can think of making it worse these days is potential leap in development.I still breastfeed and i cosleep half of the night. He is with me all the time. I don't know if I spoilt him like some say I might. But then others say it is not possible. Moments like these really drain me..
You hang in there too!!

@Purple89 how long ago did your girl start nursery?
