DS is almost 18 months. He's always been very attached to me. He is quite whingy and if I try to do anything in the kitchen he cries to be picked up which I think is normal - mostly I pick him up, sometimes I say no if I can't. It's worse when he's tired, which is often. He's adjusted well to full time nursery, but still has a hard time being left with DH. Often he will get hysterical even if I go upstairs. It can be very stressful and it's hard for DH who is a wonderful dad.
Once a week DH does bath and bed alone while I go out to a hobby (we do it together the rest of the time). The past two times DS has screamed the entire time.
Tonight I was supposed to go out, but DS was absolutely inconsolable when I went upstairs to get ready. It turned into an argument between me and DH. He thinks I'm too soft and pander to DS too much.
DS falls asleep laying next to me, then at his first wake up he comes in with me on a makeshift bed on the nursery floor. DH thinks this needs to stop. He's probably right. He wants me to leave him to cry, which I have a hard time with. He said he thinks that's the reason DS is so clingy with me.
So, long story short, if we sleep train, is it likely to make DS less clingy with me during the day?
