Baby C is getting REALLY clingy to me. She’s even having separation anxiety at this stage! Whenever I take my shower and leave her downstairs in the bouncinet with my mil, she will wail her lungs out. Yesterday she was extremely clingy to me. From 11am till11pm, she cried and ‘demanded’ for my teat teats…. And guess what? I had to nurse her every single hour from 11am through 11pm. She appeared really hungry when I nursed her but she fell asleep 10 minutes later. Most of the time, she just wanted to suckle for comfort, till she fell asleep. It appears that she is now addicted to my teat teats and cannot fall asleep alone without them. Am I in for trouble? How am I going to start my daily morning running sessions again if she’s so clingy to me and does not want anyone else? My hubby and parents are strongly objecting that I put Baby C on the jogging stroller and follow me jogging, for reasons that I am risking her being abducted. What am I going to do now? How can I escape from her for just half an hour every morning? I really need to resume my daily exercise regimen again.

u gotto be like MOTT, just let her cry. So u need to tahan. Otherwise u are her walking binky edi.
I’m here to look for solutions as Phoebe’s been like that for the past 16 months. Hehe…
Sasha, wish letting her cry worked, but sad to say mine sticks to me more after that…
Shireen, sure hope baby Cassie is much more better & easier to train than my Phoebe… 🙂
why not just do the jumping on the trampoline for now? It’s really not a good idea to take the baby out every morning to jog….pretty unsafe these days. those people may observe and monitor your daily routine.
Sound just like Ashley when Ashley was a baby. Had to bring baby into bathroom with you, right? I think it has to do with breastfed babies. They like the warmth and the cosiness of their mom’s body.
me too agree that it is not too good to let bb suck all the time for comfort. If she drinks every hour, probably she drinks only very lil each time, therefore gets only the foremilk (watery part only) and not the hind milk (creamy part) that leaves her hungry each time.
Try get someone to entertain her (so that she cannot smell you), and only feed her after at least 2 hours each time. Tough, but this is the solution i found when i bf qiqi last time.
