Seperation Anxiety!!

in Babies: 3 - 6 Months
Hi ladies!

I'm not the one who has it...it's DS! Most of the time I can't even leave the room without him crying! God forbid I leave him for a few hours to attend an event (went to a baby shower on Sunday and apparently he was inconsolable). I love my baby boy to death but I'm starting to feel trapped in my apartment because every time I go anywhere all he does is cry and scream and kick and hit who ever is watching him until I come home. Has anyone else dealt with this with previous children? How can I help DS feel secure while I'm away and how long does this last?

    How old is your LO? Separation anxiety doesn't usually kick in until around 6 months and can last until 9 months.

    he's 5 months old. He is very aware of when I'm not around and if he even sees me head to the kitchen (right beside the living room) he will cry.

    My LO does the same thing. Sorry I don't have any answers for you. Some babies are a little more "needy" (for lack of a better word).

    This is normal for lots of babies. It will lessen eventually. Heck, in a few years he won't want to see you at all!
