Hello fellow moms, wanna ask how do you deal with clingy baby. My baby refused to be put down. She would latch for hours (on off stop awhile, mostly comfort sucking) then fall asleep. Once we transfer her to bed (with slightest movement), she would cry. Bought baby swing, but tried awhile then she didn't like it. So I'm baby wearing her using carrier. However, I am going to work in 6 weeks time. I'm afraid baby sitter has a hard time taking care of her since she demands to be carried all the time. What should I do?

Yeah its pretty normal for babies to be clingy because they are coming to terms with the fact that they are an individual person as opposed to be being part of another person (ie in the womb). Try playing games like peek a boo or hide and seek with your baby. Might sound silly but games like these will help baby learn to "miss" you when you're gone but also reassure them that baby will never be alone and that mommy (or anyone else close) will always come back and be there for baby.
