1 year old is extremely difficult

[Backtobackchat]

Mom of 2 here!
I've a 13 month old and almost 3 year old
My 13 month old is extremely difficult, cries anytime shes out of my arms and sleeps poorly.
She's in my room still as I live in a 2 bed house and would be unfair to put her in with her sister.
I'm not sure what I've done wrong for her to be such a velcro baby. I find it suffocating and overwhelming.
She a beautiful and adorable baby but she isn't easy!
I suppose I'm here to off load and hear other people's stories.
My 2 year old was in her own room, sleeping through the night at 6 months.
I'm going back to work and little one is starting creche. My heart breaks for her as it will be tough for her, she's so clingy and makes strange.
Please tell me it will get easier or advice on how I can make her a little more independent so she will play and not want to be in my arms 24/7

Crèche will probably really help with this. You haven’t done anything wrong, all babies and children and adults are different. She’s very little, just give it time x

One of my children was like this. I wore him in a sling on back or front so I had hands free. I don’t know what ‘makes strange’ means.

Making strange basically means she has stranger danger with anyone other than me or my partner lol thats the best way I can describe it.
She's close to walking so a sling may slow her down but would totally do it if she was younger.
When did your little one get less clingy.
