Advice for coping with separation anxiety in a six month old

[HaychEss]

Any advice on how to deal with separation anxiety in babies? My LO has been a fussy baby from the get go but since she turned 6 months, she’s become so clingy and I’m finding it even more difficult to manage my tasks (even going to the toilet) 😭 Any advice would be appreciated

She doesn’t have separation anxiety at this age OP, I’m afraid she just wants her mum, which is entirely developmentally normal.

You pee with them able to see you… and get used to it as you’ll be doing it for quite some time.

Said frankly but with best wishes! 🌼

It is not uncommon for seperation anxiety to begin at this age and I was able to leave her with my mum or mil previously whereas now I am the only one she settles with.

It’s their attachment bond forming OP which at this age is developing in many different ways. As their primary carer you are their substance of life, and stranger danger becomes more real for them hence being less easy to go to other people.

It’s normal for that age and part of their development. Baby don’t need to be away from you much at only 6 months? I’d just roll with it for a few months until she’s happier to be away from you.
