Advice on dealing with a VERY clingy toddler (reaction to new baby)
Hello Ladies,
Will be very brief as need to do a school run...
My son, 2.5 has become very clingy after my daughter was born 3.5 months ago. He was ok-ish for the first 1-2 months and then gradually started to wake up at night many time (now sleeps with me as couldnt cope with getting up for him as well as the baby), often wont have his dad (or anyone else), only wants me, often wont let me leave the room - follows immediately even though was busy, now refuses to go to school (says wants to stay at home) to the park with the maid etc. To feed the baby i HAVE to have someone occupy him, otherwise he becomes very disruptive.
I know its normal, I have ideas as to why he does it and I have been trying (from the very beginning) to be sensitive to his needs and satisfy them (RE the new baby) but Im getting to the point when Im really fed up with this behaviour and its clear my 'gentle' approach doesnt seem to work. Or waiting it out the only way?
Could I ask you to share your experiences, if you have any?
Much appreciated.
Regards
Anna
