Crying when you leave the room?

Did this start already?! It's been 2 days so I don't think it's a fluke.

Totally thought I had more time for that.

Sames. Been going on for about a week here but LO is six months next week. I hate it, maybe the thing I hate the most.

She doesn't even need or want anything, she just wants to SEE me.

Kill me now, great timing since I go back to work soon.

Been going on for about a month! I just talk to her when I am out of the room so she can hear me.

Yep, this started at about 4 months for us. Not full blown wails, but whimpering fussing sounds. Then when she sees my face she grins like she was never upset.

I may never get anything done again.

Yeah DS has been doing this for a week or so now. Makes DH leaving for work hard. DS will be happy and cooing and laughing and DH will say bye and close the door and I'm stuck with a frantically screaming baby for the next 2+ hours. Every. Day. I'm going insane.

Been going on for a week now even when my husband is in the room. She is only ok with me leaving the room if she's concentrating on a pooing lol seriously. I think oh she's actually not crying then I realize a couple minutes later she's gone to the bathroom. Also probably not the best time to let her cry couple minutes in her crib while I was getting frustrated about nap.
I've been trying to play peek-a-boo from the kitchen to the living room. Maybe eventually she'll catch on that I haven't left. She's worse some days than others and sometimes freaks out because I'm sitting by her and not holding her.

Yep us too, been happening for a while now. Only does it with me, my husband hates that I'm really the only one he wants.

Oh and @Bliz1712‌ this is true! If she doesn't see me leave she thinks I'm still there it buys me some time but she eventually figured it out.

Yes, DS started this in the last week. And if he was already crying, he'd cry especially harder when I walked away. So it's been an interesting time trying to figure this out.

Us too...  :-/

Ella's been doing this for weeks now. Only for me. DH is amused. I am not.

I don't even have to leave the room. If she's facing the other way and doesn't see me she'll start to pucker her lip and furrow her brow. Then comes the crying.

And yet, she is sooo good for them at daycare. So apparently it only happens when she knows I'm still somewhere in the vicinity.

Well that makes me feel better!

DS started this a few days ago too. How long will this last?

DD1 still does it to some extent at 2years old

Hasn't happened to us yet. Thought for a second it did the other day but figured it was a coincidence. But call me crazy but I'm kindof excited for the validation... But I'm sure that will only last a day or too until I just feel really bad and it gets old.

I hear this is very typical for this age. He's been like that for nearly a month (he will be 5 months tomorrow).

DS has been extra clingy and cry.y. DH was making fun of him today because he kept crying at his bottle and was just starting at me. DH said he just wants Mommy. I tried to deny it and DS cried "muh muh." So needless to say if I walk out of the room it's tragic; if I try to make him take a bottle and not nurse it's the end of the world, and if someone else holds him and he can see me, forget it.
