She will usually tolerate being in the same room but not touching for periods of time :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clingy-9-month-old-what-to-do#post-922255 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 11:17:43 +0000 MsLipGloss 922255@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I try to explain what I'm doing and tell her I will pick her up as soon as possible. I try to re-direct with new objects (like Tupperware) and sing to her which she loves. It's tough! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clingy-9-month-old-what-to-do#post-922207 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 11:06:52 +0000 bunnylove08 922207@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipGloss: my babysitter does that. But what about when you have to leave her because you have to shower, wash her bottles and you're just flying solo? </p> <p>sigh </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clingy-9-month-old-what-to-do#post-922145 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 10:53:54 +0000 MsLipGloss 922145@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ahhhh, separation anxiety. I am dealing with that too . . . it is so hard to hear them cry! When I leave, I always go over to LO, kiss her, tell her goodbye, and that I will be home as soon as I can. Then I hand her back to my DH (or whomever) and leave. The person with her as I am leaving usually tries to re-direct her attention to a toy or looking out a window.

I cannot walk away from DD, she starts screaming and crying with tears. </p> <p>I need to do things but I hate having her cry. What can I do? Even if I distract her with things she will see me walk away and cry. </p> <p>Help! </p>
