Let me vent! Baby only wants me ALL THE TIME. I can’t do anything without her, even if I’m in sight…
It’s cute and I know it’s developmental but I just want to have someone else hold her without her flipping out…

I have the same thing happening with my baby, she wants me all the time or attention or just to be picked up. Sometimes I’ll use my carrier to hold her while I do stuff or have my husband help out. Sometimes I have to give her a bottle and put her down for a nap to get things done too. It gets better though with time, i know it’s hard to hear that or if you’ve been told by others but it does I promise.

I genuinely feel both at the same time. When in social settings my LO will let others hold her and play with her for like 5ish minutes but at home she wants 1 on one with me or my husband 24hrs a day

I feel this so hard 😭 my first was never like this so it has been like culture shock going from a very independent baby to a very needy baby lol I love it but its exhausting. The only people's my baby will let hold him is my younger sister and my mom, and even then he has his limits.
The doctor was genuinely shocked at how hard he was screaming after she held him for literally 30 seconds with me right there next to him 😂

Girl, same! What has gotten me though it is the quote, "the universe gives Velcro babies to the women who need to learn it's ok to be still and in the moment"
