Attachment issues?

[Apple35]

This might sound silly but i've been getting upset that my 14 month old cries when my husband and even my mum in law leaves the room / house but doesn't do it with me.
Does it mean she feels more of a connection with them than me?

This is normal. In my house it tends to fluctuate. One day my 20 month old is glued to me the next it's to DH. All depends on what's going on for them - who they've spent the most time with recently, whether they want playtime or food etc. They naturally gravitate to who they think will meet their needs at that time. Try spending a couple of days doing focused one on one playtime and s/he will start gravitating towards you again

What is your set-up OP? Are you a, SAHM or primary caregiver? Often babies will feel so totally and completely confident in their primary caregiver (often the mother), in their love and that their needs are always met, that they simply do not need to get upset if she leaves the room. They know she's coming back and have the utmost confidence in the setup. So no, it's certainly not an attachment issue, on the contrary in fact. If babies see less of other caregivers, often fathers, grandparents etc, they sometimes feel the need to 'ask' for attention more, in a way they don't need to with their mother. Hence the crying etc. Their confidence in you means they don't feel the need to express upset if you leave or cry/ask for your attention. They just have it! I know it can feel like rejection, but honestly, it is more likely a reflection on what a strong and stable attachment your baby has with you! Also, separation anxiety does almost always come at some point. If it doesn't as a baby, then probably when your child is nursery or school aged.

Thank you. I am a working mother and both my husband and I are her primary caregivers. I am maybe taking it too personally but had PND and still getting treated for it and have always worried about my bond with her. I alwatmys try to remember that she smiles and runs to me when she sees me.
