Is my baby too clingy?

I’d just say leaving him with other people, having him around lots of people etc. my 9 month old is the complete opposite of clingy 🤣 he knows who I am and gets happy when he sees me again, but he absolutely loves people and will be held by anyone and everyone. We were going out from around a week old to very social settings. Strangers interact with him a lot which he loves. Whenever we had a family event I was never fussy with who held him or tried to settle him if he got upset at something. My parents have him over night most Friday nights and have done since around 6 weeks old. We’re out everyday so he’s just used to a range of different people I guess. It has been good as he’s going to a childminders at the end of this month for a few days a week & he’s had a couple settling in sessions and he’s been the exact same there as he is for me x

I will say it’s part nature part nurture? I was constantly out and about with my baby, trying to give him to people, going to baby classes etc but he didn’t settle with strangers and would cry with family until recently. It’s just his personality. He went to daycare at 9 months and it was hard at first but he settled really well and loves going there. It has also helped him with getting used to strangers. He is still picky with who he will go to, but much better. In essence, do try and get your baby out and about, but don’t think that you’ve failed if it doesn’t work. Plus daycare will help not hinder xx

Your baby is acting like a completely normal 3 month old. Our children should want to be with us, their survival depends on it in an evolutionary way. However daycare and spending time with other caregivers will help him cope with more and different people. There will be a learning curve even if you leave him with family every day, as it will be an entirely new place and people to learn.

I was wondering about this too bc my baby is the same way!
