Separation Anxiety

How old are LO's typically when this shows up? I thought DS was too young for it, but the last 2 times we've gone to someone else's house, he completely flipped out until I held him. He didn't used to do this!

For DD, it was at about 6 months.

DD has definitely started this. She started at about 6.5 months when I did a first aid course for a weekend and was gone 6-7 hours a day.

She's been having trouble with going to sleep since (she doesn't like to be away from me), so we let her fall asleep next to us on the couch and bring her upstairs then. She gets upset if she can't see us at all times. Her crib is still in our room, but her bedtime is earlier than ours.
