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.
