Baby on the hip

The baby boy is starting to get really insistent on being around me all the time. If I step away for even a few seconds he freaks out. And im all for playing with him and keeping him company but I'm worried that's it's becoming a need to be coddled 24/7 and I just don't have the energy for it.

Is this just normal for this age? Or should I start trying to get him use to being alone? And if so how?

Re: Baby on the hip

  • Yeah, my DD has just started doing this.  She is so conflicted.  She wants to be held but she does not want me to constrain her.  She ends up doing circles on my lap.
  • It's totally normal. You're not spoiling him and he will grow out of it. It sucks tho, DD is just moving into this phase. I have an ergo but there is only so much time I can spend on chores before she gets bored and starts crying to get out and play.
