Crying when Dad leaves room
In the last week or so my daughter has started getting upset when my husband leaves the room and she's with me :( if he leaves and she's distracted she's fine and if it's just me and her it's fine but if he's carrying her and puts her down with me and then goes she gets upset....it's making me upset that she doesn't feel safe/content with just me....anyone else had this?

@Emma thank you for your reply, I hadn't thought about it like that ...it is upsetting isn't it! Did it last a while for you? Xx
It’s on and off to be honest! But then I have moments where she grabs or crawls really excitedly towards me when I come into the room and have to remember moments like that! She does love you obviously :) if you google secure attachment in babies it might help you rationalize it xx

We’ve had this and it can actually mean she has a secure attachment with you so knows you’ll come back etc and always be there where she’s having separation anxiety from Dad as she’s unsure he’ll come back etc. It made me feel upset too though so I do feel you xx
