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 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!
My LO is more happy when he is not on me, though i need to be in sight. He wants me to be sitting next to him, eye contact, singing and chatting to him but doesn’t like it much when i hold him in my lap. Initially he would have contact naps on my chest during the day but he stopped that now as well.
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
