Clingy sibling

in April 2015 Moms
does anyone else have another child that is practically smothering them right now? I have a ten and a half month old daughter that will not let go of me... Any time I even try to set her down she starts screaming. She is too young to really know that I'm pregnant... But I feel like she senses it. Anyone have any advice... Obviously this is going to need to stop before the baby gets here... But I'm not quite sure what to do

    This may come off wrong but my daughter is 3.5 and never ever ever cuddled from the day she was born. She was always independent! I felt like I missed out on being a mom at some points so My husband and I wanted to have one more so we could experience that cuddling Etc. We absolutely love our Independent Princess but all of a sudden a few weeks ago, she won't stop rubbing my belly to feel her sister, and she asks to sleep with us almost every night. She also cuddles on the couch and now asks us to pick her us! Ahhhh!! Lol we love the change and love that she is being lovey but it caught us off guard. Fingers crossed she reacts well to her sister! (We also have a 6 y/o boy who is the definition of lovey and clingy!)

    It sounds like she will do super well. I can totally relate to the independent thing... My daughter has never wanted me to hold her or anything... Started walking at nine months old... But over the past month she won't let me set her down... Don't get me wrong I appreciate the cuddles... But I can't even get up to make us food right now... She wants to be inside my clothes... Like she crawls under my shirt and wants to grab my stomach and chest with her little claws all day long... And it hurts my stretch marks so bad...

    At 10.5m my daughter was very much attached to me. She always wanted to be on or with me. They really aren't that old at 10.5m and developmentally they thrive on interaction. I would enjoy the snuggles because they do change and you will miss them!

    Same situation here! My daughter will be two this month. Over the past two weeks i've had to carry her around everywhere. She won't even let daddy pick her up! She has always been an independent girl but she has done a complete 360. It breaks my heart but it is physically taking a toll on my body. I am going to cherish the cuddles since we have a month left together without a new baby in the house.

    I have a 9yr old acting like a 2yr old. I wish she was being clingy instead of acting out!

    I'm glad it's not that...hopefully your nine year old calms down when she meets the new baby...

    She is super excited for her little sister. She has been wanting a sibling for years but I think at the same time she is afraid of where she will stand especially since my DH and I have been married about a year and her dad is not so great... I am hoping once baby is born she will feel more included as she is old enough to be a real help.
