18 months super clingy
Our little girl is 18 months and just in the last week has been SO CLINGY. She wants me to hold her all the time, despite being a great walker (and recently figuring out running). She wants cuddles ALL the time, and won’t go to bed unless I hold her first. The trouble is I’m 7 months pregnant and struggling to carry her around this much. Is it just a phase or behavior I’ll need to wean her from? She normally is quite independent and even vocally asks for things or firmly answers yes/no when given the option. 🤷🏻♀️
Yep definitely a phase! Just give as much love as you can! We went through this right before and right after we went on a family vacation, lasted probably a month total. I thought I was gonna die bc I’m pregnant too and I was like boy I cannot be doin this! His teachers at daycare said it might be the pregnancy? But I think it’s the vacation lol who knows.... but this shall pass
It’s either a phase or maybe teething. Also she may be sensing a change coming with her little sibling close to making their arrival. It will pass though, whatever it is!! :)
My 22 month old just started doing this not too long ago, too. Especially when other people are around and he wants all my attention. I remember our oldest doing the same thing around this time, also. It’ll pass! Congratulations!
My son was doing the exact same thing around the 18 month mark! It's a phase for sure. He wouldn't even let his dad console him when upset. Had to be me for everything. Super clingy and lots of separation anxiety. Lasted about 3 weeks, the just stopped🤷🏼♀️ Just be patient, reassuring, and loving. That's all you can do.
