I hope it will be better before 18 months!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dealing-with-separation-anxiety#post-2549369 Sun, 15 May 2016 22:00:19 +0000 Portboston 2549369@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No advice just comiseration. My almost 10 month old is going through this as well. Not quite as bad, as he actually prefers DH then to me, but he gets upset if one of us leaves the room. Our pediatrician said it lasts until 18 months or so but I can't imagine it will be so extreme until then!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dealing-with-separation-anxiety#post-2549360 Sun, 15 May 2016 21:38:10 +0000 Dahlia 2549360@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is 10 months old, and the last week her separation anxiety has gotten really bad. She only wants to be around me, not even DH, and screams if I even walk halfway across the room. </p> <p>The last three nights she's also refused to go to bed, crying hysterically as soon as we start the routine and not stopping. She's gone to sleep on her own without so much as a whimper for months now, so this is really surprising. Nothing else has changed in her schedule and she's not sick or teething that I know of. </p> <p>How long does this last? How do you deal with it? I'm so sick of being clung to, and she really needs to sleep! </p>
