Seperation anxiety
Corey has started screaming whenever i leave the room, and screams on Dave and holds his arms out as soon as he sees me :iconredface:
I didnt have it this extent with the other 2 - possibly because they werent as attatched to me with being bottle fed?
Anyway, I wear him in the sling, and try putting him with his toys in the same room as me, but tbh, there are some things i just cant do with him attatched to me - and my house is suffering for it.
I refuse to leave him to cry or get upset, so i respond to him immediately.
Any advise from you girls that have 'been there done it got the Tshirt' ?

Re: Seperation anxiety
in my experience its a phase that ive just worked through (willows having another one at the minute!) and boys are worse! im much the same i cant leave any child crying, it annoys the hell out of dave but i just leave the house work and things i cant do while attatched, until another time. some days are better than others and the phases dont seem to last that long. sorry im not much help, you seem to be doing all the right things though :iconredface: im not the tidyest of people so i have no problem leaving some housework i hope someone else has some better ideas for you :aww:

Re: Seperation anxiety
thanks Ange!
i'm far from a tidy person - but i am trying to pack stuff up at the moment - so i guess the boys are noticing im 'doing' more, and spending a less time playing with them.
Today i have given up, spent most of day cuddling corey and entertaining boys, with laptop on for inbetween

Re: Seperation anxiety
:aww: it will pass when he will be able to do more by himself, like playing with toys, brothers, going to school, like get into trouble, get married to some blonde bimbo and then one day he will start calling you again...oh sorry, this is different story

Re: Seperation anxiety
Ellie went through a stage like this at about 10months, she had been in nursery since 5months but at 10months when I went to leave her she got really upset. First time she did it I tried offering her a feed (in case that was the problem) giving her a cuddle etc, but in the end just had to leave her. As soon as I went she was happy. After that I knew it was a phase and would just say good bye as cheerily as possible and not look back (it is so hard to do) but thankfully a week later she was back to normal.
When I started back playing hockey (she was about 15months) she would get really upset when I went to leave. Again once I had gone she was more than happy playing with Daddy. After the first 3 or 4 times, she was quite happy for me to leave, just saying a cheery Bye, bye Mummy. However once I get back I can't leave her for a while otherwise she does get upset.
I realise that Corey is quite a bit younger but I would be tempted to try not reacting to it. If he is with his Daddy, you know he is being well loved and looked after, and doesn't need anything. I know how hard it was on hubby to start with but it should settle down quite quickly if you are consistant. Good luck!

It's true - Brody is a lot more independant in the day now he is too busy to be clingy! He used to be clingy day and night!
