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?

She must have got used to being carried all the time. Babies are very smart. Once they know that their demands are being fulfilled at the drop of a tear, they try this each time. Start putting him on the bed and stay near to him and play with him while he is lying on the bed. Begin doing this, he may want to be carried in the beginning but he will adapt. You can get toys with whom he can play. Have a few walk talky toys. Such toys keep kids distracted for quite a while. Let the baby be on bed or his cot most of the times, and be by his side so that he doesn't feel lonely, and soon he will come to terms with not be carried all the time.
