clingy 3 month old

My DS has all of a sudden got really clingy. He seems to know when I leave the room and gets really upset. He wants to be with me all the time, which is very tiring and unfair on my DD. I do have to do pretty much everything like feeding, changing etc as my partner doesn't feel like he isnt bonding which makes things a little harder. Just wondered if this is a stage they go through or maybe because he us always with me. Finding it hard work now and tiring.

He's a tiny baby and wants his mum. That's is normal not clingy.

Maybe he's tired, more hungry, ill? And yes it's a phase so go with it, make him feel secure and it will pass.

Thank you, glad it's not something I'm doing wrong. Thought maybe it was because I don't leave him on his own. Couldn't remember my DD being like this but each child is different. Thanks again

No of course not! My dd was like this but usually when something was up. It will pass.

Your DP will find it easier to bond when the baby is a bit older and more interactive but do get him to try stuff when baby is happier. Even if it's taking him for a walk while you spend time with dd?

Alot of people have said that, he has been better with DS the last few weeks like playing with him as DS is laughing and smiling more. I don't like to push it to much as I think he feels bad about it. He is great with our DD though.
