Baby cries when I walk in
When we're alone just us we have a fantastic time and she's giggling and smiling constantly but when she's playing independently or with someone else and i walk over and she remembers I'm not holding her she starts crying. She's exclusively breastfed if that makes any difference. I'm starting to feel horrible like I constantly ruin her fun. When I pick her up she's happy like she got what dhe wanted and she cries when I walk out the room too. Everyone else she beams at when they walk in though. It makes me really sad.

It’s just to do with separation anxiety, my baby boy does exactly the same thing & hes 8 months xx
Sounds like separation anxiety, almost a cry at all of a sudden realising how they’ve missed you when seeing you again and emotional release as you are their safe space. Doesn’t feel nice sometimes but all great signs of a secure attachment ❤️ xx

I feel like hopefully it's just a survival thing w being breastfed and abt wanting to be held. But I worry nonetheless. And even if i understand that I still feel like to everyone else it looks like I'm an awful mum and i make my daughter sad. X
