babies

I see so many posts about clingy babies, but does anyone else’s baby absolutely enjoy just being left alone for a little? I don’t mean put them on the sofa & walk out the room type. But my little one will sometimes fussy in my arms until he’s on his playmat & the minute I walk out the room (I stand by the door so I can watch him) he’s chatting to himself. He sometimes just loves to not be held but will happily interact.

Yeah we have similar - from the day we brought him home he’s mostly always been okay to just look around in his bassinet, pram, bouncer etc chatting to himself (except after his 8 week jabs)… don’t get me wrong he does love being walked around the house in our arms looking outwards at everything but he is just as fine being on his own kicking about. It made me a bit worried when apparently babies develop most when they are on you but my LO seems so independent 😆 Wonder if we will have clingy toddlers instead

My first was like this she wasn’t fussed about being held or anything. She’s nearly 16 months and loves a little cuddle now.

I don’t know whether she’s started wanting a cuddle more because her little sister is very clingy and wants to be held all the time 😅

My wee one is happy enough to play for a bit on his own but I must be in sight. If he is unsettled in my arms and isn’t hungry or needing changed he needs entertained so I talk and sing and play with him. My one also likes looking at shiny things and lights

My little boy is happy lay on his own most the time, sometimes when he can’t see me he will cry but stops when he sees me again, think he’s got abit of separation anxiety. My daughter was the complete opposite she wanted to be held all the time

My little one is the same, does like a cuddle when sleepy but is very happy on his playmat and playing by himself!
