I need help 😭

My toddler is stressing me out so bad. She’s never had a problem with her dad leaving in the morning until recently. He leaves at 9:15 in the morning to go to work she he gets up with her at 8 when she wakes up feeds her breakfast and whatnot. When he leaves she screams bloody murder for at least 30 to 45 mins I try to distract her best I can but her cries are so loud it stresses me out it’s now gotten to the point where I can’t go to the bathroom or leave her eye sight for even a second. For any other mamas with clingy babies how are you coping 😭

When my little cries we go outside. Rain or shine. Fixes it every time

@MacKenzie I started doing that but every time I bring her back inside, she goes to the doggie gate and yells dad dad dad, dad, dad dad and starts her fit all over again 🥲

@MacKenzie works all the time for my baby, she loves being outside.

You could try this. When he’s home try short separations in small increments. 1 minute, 3 minutes, etc. See how she does. Perhaps give her a favorite/comfort object she has to help ease the transition. Another great thing to do that would also make memories is establish a cute goodbye hello routine. When he leaves yall could come up or look up a goodbye song, little dance, customize it and then do one for when he comes home. Incorporate maybe a little handshake or high five so she feels Included and the goodbye feels less scary and more fun. And then she has something to look forward to with his return. Like the hello song with daddy cuddles.

My daughter started doing that few weeks ago, I go with her to the kitchen or bedroom when he leaves, and he does the same when I leave, she start crying only if she sees the door closing.

Bath distraction?
