Hi mummies, recently my Lo 4 months old got very attached to me. She kept crying when I am not around even for a short while like going to the shower. Is there any way to train her to be less attach? Thank you

It is normal for babies at this age to be clingy. Newborns depend on close contact to adapt to outside the womb. Carrying your baby will help him feel secure, regulates his immature heartbeat, and helps to balance irregular waking, sleeping and feeding patterns. As they grow, it is common for babies to become clingy at significant developmental stages and, just as babies have physical growth spurts, they also achieve neurological milestones such as being able to perceive distance. Clingy behaviour can simply be your baby realising that his mother can leave her, resulting in clingy behaviour. It is a development milestone that babies will go through and outgrow from it. You should enjoy these moments. Once they are bigger, they won't want us to carry anymore.

Baby may be going through a major leap and are normally accompanied by the three C's: clinginess, crankiness and crying. Babies undergo these clingy periods at 5, 8, 12, 19, 26, 37, 46, 55, 64 and 75 weeks. The onsets may vary by a week or two. All babies experience clingy periods when there is a big change in their development. You can check The Wonder Weeks for more information, they do have an app for it and I am using it, very informative about all the leaps as to when it will start and stop, what baby is growing through. https://www.thewonderweeks.com/the-mental-leaps-and-wonder-weeks/

It is a phase, and it'll pass. During this age,my baby already recognizes familiar faces, and guess who is the most familiar person she know? Mommy, of course! Also, your baby still hasn't realize that even if he doesn't see you, you are still around. he cries to make sure you appear and be with him. So be patient,momma!

It normal. They know when we are around. This happens to me as well. They will eventually outgrow it.

It's perfectly normal. It's a phase they all go thru.
