My 13 month old is very clingy and has been for the past few months.
He will cry constantly unless I hold him, if I sit on the sofa he will cry and claw at my legs until I'm either holding him or sitting on the floor with him, sometimes even when I hold him he will still psychically claw at me and rub his head into my neck as if he's trying to get as close as possible.
He has a very good routine and sleeps through the night/has naps but I'm starting to doubt myself that I'm doing something wrong?
My 3 year old was never like this so it's a little new for me. Hubby says perhaps he is a high needs baby. I've called the health visitor twice and both times they've said unfortunately it's just a case of waiting for him to grow out of it!
It makes me sad some days because I want to be able to cuddle my 3 year old and talk to him but my baby gets so upset when I'm not holding him or giving him my full attention. We can play all day, take walks etc but he will still be unsettled when I'm not close enough to him.
Has anybody else experienced this with their child or can offer any tips?
