Hi- Liv is 11 months and now starting to go through seperation anxiety. I knew this would happen at some stage, but I never thought it would be this bad. I struggle to do anything without her crying and wanting me to pick her up, she won't even let her Daddy pick her up :eek: . Mothers group is just as bad, she used to be really sociable, but now she only wants to sit with me. Don't get me wrong, she is a delightful, loving and cuddly baby, but I'm worried it will only get worse.
Is anyone else experiencing this? Does anyone have some fantastic advice for me?

Oh, Tracy! I know where you are coming from. I had this with Tristan, except he was always like it and still can be! Around 9-10 months it is so normal for them to go through this. Most babies, even the outgoing ones, suddenly cling to mummy and don't want to know about anyone else-daddies included. It took Tristan until he was about 17 months to happily hang out with Darryl again. They have been inseperable since! You may just have to ride this out-she will get past it. Right now she just needs to know hwere you are and that you won't abandon her. Like you are ever going to do that !!:D
