She’s 6 months old, until she was 4ish months she would only nap on me, just cried and cried if I put her in her cot. She gradually got better until now she won’t nap on me at all, she just tries to climb off me and explore.
When I put her down on her mat to play and I sit or lie down with her so I’m facing her, she just pivots so she’s facing away from me and practices her crawling technique.
She’ll sit in her high chair and be quite happy just licking the straps, I’ll chat to her and try to give her a toy and she smiles at me, then pretty much instantly chucks the toy, looks away, and it’s back to licking the straps again.
When she wakes in the night she doesn’t want me to comfort her, I try patting, shushing, cuddling and it just makes her cry but as soon as I put her dummy back in for her she’s straight back to sleep.
This might sound stupid but is this weird? Have I broken her somehow or made her less attached by getting her to nap in her own bed? It was gradual and gentle but this just feels so weird after 4 months of almost permanently being pinned underneath her, she was like a Velcro baby and now it seems like the opposite. We had feeding issues as well and I wonder if she’s gone off me because I’m the one that kept giving her the milk that made her have reflux.
I only have one friend with a baby and she was super clingy all her first year and now beyond, so I have no idea what to think about this
