Opposite of Velcro baby

When I was home on Mat leave w my boys, they'd cry to be put down. I too was confused and a little hurt. They still like their play time, but in the recent months of joining daycare and all the sicknesses that come w it, they are glued to me. I now look back and envy that time. There's only so much time to myself before they're crying to be picked up. I personally am looking at this and wishing I were you, but at the same time, I understand you want that feeling that baby needs you. Maybe start bringing an option for babe to sleep while you're out of space permits. Otherwise in our case we just don't go where we can't accommodate their needs. So not great advice 😅

If it helps you feel better, a secure attachment style is a child who is not clinging onto their mother and feels confident to explore and be with other caregivers. It’s actually a very beautiful thing and you can be proud you’re raising a confident, happy kid!! Btw, learned this from my therapist because my kids have similar tendencies. I cherish every snuggle and we are very affectionate but I try to soak in the moments of beauty that is allowing my kids to explore, bond with family, and still come back to me in my arms at the end of the day ❤️

, my baby is just like that. Whenever we have to leave her with family or at daycare, people are always astonished by how easygoing and happy she is. She doesn't cry; instead, she plays and enjoys the company of whoever is with her. When we arrive, she celebrates and gives us the biggest smiles, but she never complains about being with someone else. Additionally, she is very independent in her play and loves to observe everything around her.
