My LO turned 16 months, and BAM!, we have the clingiest toddler ever. Today he is home with DH while I am working, and he literally has to have a hand on DH every minute. If we go to any playgroups, he is in my lap and won't move, and he cries anytime either of us leave the room.

I love the extra snuggles, but the whining not so much. Our pediatrician said this usually lasts until 18 months and then passes. True? Any way to help him not be so anxious? I know it's a huge learning/growth phase for him right now too.
