Separation Anxiety 😥

Both of these are options I have taken 🤷🏾♀️
Depends how badly she’s kicking off
It’s just me taking care of my boy so I just tell him I’ll be back when going to the bathroom but he doesn’t understand me still so he’s screaming and banging on the door the whole time😊
I used to keep her baby bath out in the bathroom and pop her in whilst I went toilet
Depends if I’m alone, I’ll take her with me and leave her outside the door while she crawling around otherwise if my husband is home I’ll let her be with him
Depending on babies‘s age… My little guy is almost 15 months, and recently we stayed at his cousin’s house where his cousin was learning to potty train. My little guy saw the toddler potty and was fascinated, so we got him a secondhand one, And now whenever I go to the bathroom, I invite him to sit on his potty and we make it a game
Just go with them. Are you scared or shy or what lol 😄 I learnt to wee w bub in hand and using 1 hand for everything at some point. It's not nice to leave them to scream when they don't understand. You can start teaching them slowly till they understand you're coming back. But I see no harm in having your bub next to you at all times especially when still so young to understand or be left alone. They'll soon be tired of you and you'll be here again lol
Baby gate to bathroom works they see you but can’t get to you lol that’s as a toddler but as a baby I put a play pen near the door and her in it
If I’m on my own and he’s being super clingy, I lie him on the bathroom mat whilst I go to the loo or if I’m going for a shower he goes in his rocker sitting at the shower door and I put the radio on
I would love to be able to leave him on his own for a moment, but I feel too guilty, I just take him with me, same for showers and everything else x
The other parent is usually there, so he / I will reassure her while the other does whatever needs to be done. Also, we make a point of telling her "I'll be right back" whenever we have to leave the room, so she knows we'll come back. If I'm alone I just take her with me into the bathroom, although I have been doing that anyway to get her used to how the potty works (we're 18 months).
