Omg!  Lauren is having major separation anxiety issues!  If I get more than 2 feet away she starts crying and crawling after me.  If i pick her up shes fine. I can't get a thing done and my poor arm is about given out from holding her so much. I think the last 2 days that's all I have done.  Dh at least helped me get our mountains of laundry folded and put away and held her so I could cook dinner. I don't remember this stage with my other two but its been 7 years so. Hopefully she grows out of this one quick!

Oh yes, both babies have gone through that! And they're not too fond of strangers coming up to try and get all "cute-baby" with them. They always start to cry & will reach up for me or my hubby to pick them up.

Tehy do say to leave the room but to  keep talking so they know you are still there although they cannot see you.  Ella is crawling everywhere now so she just comes looking for me.  This morning I was having a shower and I asked my hubby where she was because she was in the lounge.  Not long after that she had crawled from the lounge into our room (because the bathroom door was closed) and crawled into our bathroom from our bedroom.  It was so cute :)

Ellie rarely goes anywhere without me. I can count on one hand how many times she has been without me :P my husband has taken her on a quick grocery store run once (10 min), hardware store (30min) and once right after she was born a weight check at the ped) so I guess I'm not surprised. But we play peekaboo where I set her down and talk to her from another room and then pop in on her. She likes it and learns even if I'm out of sight I'm still there :)

Ezra is infatuated with me which is awesome cause i fell the same about him.....
He will go into his jumparoo/exasaucer for a bit of time so i can clean a bit but if he sees me he throws his hands up lol my other two were not like that I think mainly because I lived with my parents with them so i had a lot of help and they didnt get crazy attached to me

as long as they are meeting their developmental milestones i wouldnt worry about it... it will pass... you do have to let them deal with the anxiety so i have read... so give her to dh everyday for a bit and then she will see that you always come back.... mainly they get scared that you are not going to come back so you need to show that you do... so maybe leave the house for 10-20 mins

Ella has always been like that :(  She's a clingy baby!!!  Sometimes she's ok but most of the time she jsut wants mummy.  I spend most of the day holding her but I am so use to it I just put up with it now - I guess that's why I have pnd :)

Yes we have that going on too. It has been going on for a while now. Breastfed babies start separation anxiety sooner unfortunately. Luckily it will pass in time
