No I think it's so precious but sad how much my munchkins attached to me. Although I'll admit, I feel weird leaving her w/ her great GPA. Or the ex in laws. I kind of feel like ish for not doing this lovey dovey thing w/ them. But they're such a huge reason as to why her dad's crap. Don't tell me u love me when all those xs u acted toxic & expected me to pick up all the pieces, while trying to continue trampling on me. Sigh, it's a process... & I just really don't trust anyone. Plus, his voice is so loud & carries. I just question everybody. My baby for real cries when I leave her though. Tears rolling down that little face of hers & all. I just smile at how cute she is while my heart breaks & I just hafta go on about my days. But she's so happy when she sees me. That smile stays on for a good bit too. Little chunky face w/ dimples & teef teefs 🥰
You have the best parenting tips and tricks on youtube! You literally think of everything! This video, like your other videos, hit home - especially this one! I was so boggled by my baby’s extreme clinginess all of a sudden (when she was generally super happy around the other care givers) - any time I would leave the room. This was around the time she mastered the object permanence ball in hole skill. This has lasted close to 3 weeks- she seems to be getting better. Thank you for all of this great info and a sense of validation!!!
My son is 3 and it started after going to the nursery. One big mistake i made (and nursery staff encouraged me to do it, unfortunately) was that when my son was playing, i sneaked out without saying bye. This made him extremely anxious, he now started following me into every room and bathroom, which he didn't do before.
I never liked that daycare tells parents to do this! It made my son unbearably clingy when he was little, so I never did it with my daughter when she started and she was so different
The timing of this video is perfect. My little girl just started doing this with EVERYONE if I leave or am not holding her. Can't wait for this to pass. Gonna try to use your tips. Thank you so much!
Same! I'm exhausted when I come home from work and she gets so happy when I come home. If I go see her and then try and go eat, she gets so fussy when she sees me leave to have food. Only wants to sleep cuddled on my arm. It's a thing. Lol. She's so cute but I'm so tired 😂😂😂 Even her dad can't handle her now. She's a total mumma's girl. 😅
I have a toddler and she is becoming super clingy with the passing time! I have hired a nanny as I WFH but she cries so much to be around me. I am having a really hard time!
my little one is older, started her separation anxiety after her first birthday, and at 18 months is still a stage 4 clinger 😥 it is so stressful trying to do anything and her dad doesn't see it because he's sleeping or at work.
My baby is 6months old and oohh bowy ain't she clingy since I work from home. This was helpful will try this.. Thanks Emma thank God I found your channel
This video came in the perfect time (as per usual with all your videos). My babe is 7 months old and just started being this way over the last week. I do find telling him what I do before I do it helps 😊
@@EmmaHubbard hey Emma.. my wife n I have a boy, he’s 8months. My wife works fr home but I work at sea for two weeks, then I’m home for two weeks. Will this make his separation anxiety worse? It’s gotten fairly bad lately but seems to be worse since I’ve been away. It’s my first trip at sea away fr him. Any tips? I do vid calls every evening while I’m away, but he doesn’t smile when he sees me on vid calls.
It's not when we leave the room, it's when we put him down... he won't play with toys unless we literally sit next to him so he can feel us on his back
Your channel is such a blessing. The content has been just what I needed throughout the first year of having my baby. Please make a video about thumb sucking.
Mine is 3 yo, and same. I will try her tip about increasing the time away from 10 min and so on. There were a few mistakes i made, like leaving him alone in a completely new place (nursery) in his first day. Plus, sneaking out without saying bye. It made it so much worse now, he has nightmares.
You posted this at exactly the right time for us lol. My 7 month old has been VERY attached to me. If I'm in the room, he's near me. When I leave, he flips out. He's been doing it for about 3 weeks now. He's also starting to stand independently and cruise. He's teething. So he's also not sleeping. Poor Bubba has a lot going on lol. Thank you for making this video!
Wow definitely a lot going on for your little one. Early to stand and cruise which is great. I find when they start walking they are happier to be out of your line of sight and explore a bit more. Hopefully the tips in this video help!
Hi Emma, I love your videos! I think it would be interesting to see a video about the baby feelings. For example when you have a baby that cries when left playing next to you but not with you. When they want to sit but you need to change a diaper and the baby gets fussy. When you see the frustration in the baby of not being able to do something. When a baby fights sleep. And other moments that make the baby upset and how to deal with them :)
Simple, take the kid with you and let him participate/assist in what you are doing right now. Let him help you like asking him for giving you a tissue or a diaper. My girls love to help me where ever they can. If your kid is older and is able to communicate. Give him a false sense of a choice. Which both will benefit yourself. I give you a example, if your child doesn't want to go to bed, give him two options, either he goes to bed alone, or he can choose to go to bed with you cuddling him. Sometimes when my girls are fuzzy to put on a shirt or pants, I ask if she wants to do it by herself, or if she can put it on by herself. And it works, every time. Talking and explaining is the key. If your child doesn't responds the first couple times, be patient. It will come sooner or later. And if nothing works, take your kid with you and let it be with you. Some kids need the close contact with their parents. The world is big and scary. All it wants is the sense of security and being loved. And this should not be punished under any circumstances. Hope my single dad knowledge can help you.
"always keep amd jotful face" yes!!!! I swear everytime im crying my beautiful baby sis who is 1 and hald years old crys too because she thinks im worried about her so when i cry. She cries. And even sometimes she jumps in my arms and hugs me. Whem im crying it really helps aiman is so great.
Thank you for your videos! Encouraging for parents, making clear what is normal, giving very useful and simple tips. I have my first baby, 5 month old now, and your channel is so helpful
I love and appreciate your valuable help & insight. What advice can you provide in how to handle 4 year old temper tantrums I urgently need help in this matter
@@EmmaHubbard mine started this at 4 month old... Before her 3 month old it was possible for me to put my little girl in other 's arms, but when she turned 3 month old, it turned out IMPOSSIBLE for me to put her down or in other' s amrs, or just not have her in my arms without her CRYING like crazy. Now she's 5 month old, and I'm really tired of this... I want to be able to put her down to go and pee for 5min without hearing her screaming like she's going to die.
@@melodieswitten7386 my son is very attached too, before he used to accept relatives picking him up but now he cries almost everytime and they simply hand him over :( We're finding nursery a nightmare as well, he just turned 9 months this week.
i could not have clicked faster.. may baby girl almost 9 months started this just last week.. me just leaving her sight for few minutes will lead to flood of tears 💔😞😢 heart breaking indeed and today left for some errand and no one at home can pacify her.
I think my baby know that when the alarm goes off in the kitchen, that I’m going to leave the room for a brief time. Whenever the alarm goes of he drops whatever he’s doing, cries a little bit and runs(speed crawl) to me and holds on to me so tight! I’ve been bringing him with me and it seems to calm him a little bit.
@@EmmaHubbard yeah it could be that, he’s not accepting bottles for his dad either at all. He only wants me to feed him. I’m a stay at home momma .. his dad works ALOTT and isn’t home much. His feelings are hurt over it and we don’t know how to fix that either , it’s very stressful and I feel bad for my fiancé but idk how to fix that at all 💔🥺❤️
My son is 3 months and already does some of those. My husband gets upset sometimes, thinking the son doesn’t love him that much((( that he needs only his mommy
My baby is 14 mo old, she's extremely clingy so much so that she doesn't leave me for a sec if I'm around her. Biggest mistake is i kept sneaking out ! Thanks alot for tops
How do you know if it's not just separation anxiety? My son is almost 12 months but has been like this since about 8 months. I am a single mum so he spends all day with just me. He's only spent an hour away from me in 6 months. He starts daycare next week and I'm so worried he won't cope. We have been doing visits to try and help and he'll start with half days. When we're at home though he cries every time I leave his sight and crawls after me. Sometimes he'll cry when I move away from him even if he can still see me. He also started not wanting to sleep in his cot at the same time and wanting to sleep in my bed.
Hey emma i really like all your videos. They are very helpful for new mums. I have a problem . My 13 months old baby girl cruises on furniture , stands with holding things , and stands all alone for like 30 seconds and walk little steps but she is not able to pull herself from ground all by herself and hence she is hesitate to walk..how can i help her
My lo is finding it extremely hard to go to nursery :( just turned 9 months this week and perhaps even thanks to covid he's mainly used to his parents and his separation anxiety is through the roof. We have been going to nursery for 30 min stretching for 3 weeks now and had to pull him out for a whole week due to gastric flu :( feel like a mammoth task :(
Thank you for the video. Now I understand why my almost 10 month old sob started being so clingy and cries everytime i leave for a few minutes. It actually started as soon i started sleep training, and he now wont let me eveb put him down, i have to be holding him most of the time. Do you think its related to sleep training and would you still think its a phase or is there something i can do. PS sleep training was a gentle one day thing not a long traumatic experience and he goes to sleep happily without fussing so i dont think he’s traumatized.
HELP!! I have a 10mo who's been here since birth.. The family is awesome but I've asked them not to stay so long at drop off.. 1st time parents and I've talked to them about it. The only time that he's not screaming is during nap, and feedings. His parents STILL rock him to sleep. He's built like a 2yo and just learned how to sit up and crawl. I'm at my wits end and as many of me speaking 2 them, nothing changes..
Hi Emma. Can you make a video of what are the issues that pandemic babies might face. I'm talking about babie to 2 years single child's who doesn't have contact with people or other kids. And what can we do to avoid those issues in regard to people and other child. I feel my baby cries when she's close to other people I'm not sure if it's the stage or a problem developed because she doesn't spend time with other kids
my 5 month old is going through this - she cries out when she does not see me , wont let anyone else hold her - is it too early for separation anxiety?
Okay I need some super urgent help! I have done everything, my baby(10 months) is okay exploring on her own for 5 minutes but she just cries and cries and cries after that and wants to be picked and held constantly. I don't know what to do. I am kind of a single mom - dad and family are in another country. Help if you guys have any trips
My daughter has just started doing this a lot at childcare drop off. She isn't clingy at other times. Feel she is tired and not getting enough sleep at childcare. Almost thinking of changing childcare. She really doesn't seem to enjoy it. She's a bit older at 16 months or so.
My son is 8 months old. About two weeks ago, we tried to go over to my MIL's house for dinner. He's never been there before (she lives in a different town), and he's only seen her and my hubby's stepdad a few times. She of course wanted to hold him soon after we got there, and that resulted in him crying inconsolably for nearly 15 minutes. This gave me a major anxiety attack, I just wanted to take him and leave. He was probably tired (he'd only had about a 20 minute nap, in the car), and the only thing that really got him to calm down was a bottle (I believe it was a little early for food at that point but it did calm him down). After that, he was fine to just stay with me and play on his mat that we'd brought. However, she tried to hold him again, and he again started crying. How do we combat this? He cried that time for about 5 minutes, until my hubby started playing with him by whooshing him into the air. Needless to say, I'm extremely anxious now about going back over there, and we have plans to go there for Thanksgiving :/
In Australia the recommendation is generally to introduce solids at 6 months of age when they have more sitting balance and better skills. But some paediatricians do recommend starting earlier.
Hi Emma, My sleep trained 7 month old is now experiencing seperation anxiety. This is great for wake time, but what should I be doing with a baby that now screams everytime I place her in her crib? I've read leaving the room (like when check and concole sleeping training) will make the anxiety worst. Would love to know your thoughts? Signed: Deperate in Canada.
What about a 1 month old? He refuses to stay with my mom and we live without th her. He cries until I get him back from her and then boom silence. She’s super sweet too idk why he hasn’t taken to her yet
I made a mistake by sending my 2 year old to nursery for straight 3 hours and 5 hours without settling him to the nursery also another mistake was I did not say good bye. He now has developed fear and is very clingy and don’t want to be in the place where children are playing. Any suggestions
My 8 month old starts daycare next week and i know she will go thru this 🙁 I am also having a hard time getting her to nap on her own so she can transition smoothly to daycare naps. Any videos or advice on how to teach them to take good naps will be very appreciated 🤗
Hi Mari thanks for the comment. I have this video on catnapping which covers some information on healthy sleep habits which might be helpful. th-cam.com/video/v5qQVkOtpX4/w-d-xo.html
8 months daycare? What is wrong with all of you. Almost every second person here says the same. This is insanity. Why did you choose in the first place to have a child when you don't want to spend time with it? It's your responsibility to raise a child not of a daycare worker. For my part, I'm just a divorced father and rasing my girls alone. I would never bring over my soul to leave my children at a daycare at such a young age. This is so wrong on many levels. I dropped my job to be there for my girls 24/7. What my ex wife is not ready to sacrifice.
@trolo jolo Not everyone is able to leave their job. We have bills to pay....they don't pay themselves!!! You have no idea nor is it your business, why parents choose to put their little ones into care. Stop being so harsh. Your comments are so unkind. I hope your girls don't see them.
My little one is 4 months old and has started doing this except she will cry and scream for 2 hours straight. Any tips? What can I do? I’m returning to work soon.
Can this start at 4 months. He was doing great with my in laws and now he just cries when he’s with anyone but me including his dad and siblings. Hoping to try out some of the tips in this video when he wakes up from his nap. Thank you
My baby is five months and 11 days old. And he won’t let any other than me or my boyfriend to hold him and he will bust to cry. Is that a sign of separation anxiety?
Hi Emma my little one is not letting me do work in the kitchen. He is ok if I am sitting near him but as soon as i go in the kitchen he will just crawling to the kitchen and stand in my legs, and started crying all the time. Which makes my life hard. I try to give him some boxes to play but he is ok for few minutes and again starting crying for me to pickup him up. Sometimes i am so frustrat about it Any tips?
8-12 months? Mine began this sort of behavior last week, at 2 months. Crying if we left, calling us back to him. Smiling when he sees us. What does this imply for his development??
Hi @Nikita some babies do display separation anxiety as early as 4 to 5 months of age, but it tends to be strongest/peak at around 9 months of age. I would say your little one is seeking your reassurance when she is interacting with other adults and making sure you are still present.
I think Covid has made separation anxiety start early. My boy is 6 months and has been like this for a while. 'Stranger Danger ' is also another challenge
Hi @Alice D thanks for the comment. I do hink Covid has had an impact on our babies. Particularly ‘stranger danger’ as they have limited interaction with other people. Also when we as parents are anxious about going out and seeing people - which people are during these times- babies pick up on these feelings and also display them/ appear more unsettled. Hopefully the tips in this video help you get through this challenging phase 😀
It's a nice thing to hear that it's a good sign and a sign of strong attachment. I was afraid i did something wrong and my little one is insecure.
No I think it's so precious but sad how much my munchkins attached to me. Although I'll admit, I feel weird leaving her w/ her great GPA. Or the ex in laws.

What do you do to help stop your little ones' tears when you leave?
My little one is beginning this at 3 months , maybe it’s something else if this doesn’t happen that early though
Thank you for this. I actually didn’t realize that was part of separation anxiety.
No worries at all. Glad to help!

My son is 3 months and already does some of those. My husband gets upset sometimes, thinking the son doesn’t love him that much((( that he needs only his mommy
What do you recommend when your baby begins to cry when you put them down and you're just working around the house but not leaving?
Following, I have this issue too
Thanks so much for this video! Was desperately in need of this 😀
Happy to help! Hopefully this makes life a little bit easier. 😄
My baby is 14 mo old, she's extremely clingy so much so that she doesn't leave me for a sec if I'm around her. Biggest mistake is i kept sneaking out ! Thanks alot for tops
I wish I watched this channel earlier. Now my son is a toddler.please make more videos on that too such as what and how to teach them
Thanks so much for the topic ideas and the compliment on the channel. 😀
How do you know if it's not just separation anxiety? My son is almost 12 months but has been like this since about 8 months. I am a single mum so he spends all day with just me. He's only spent an hour away from me in 6 months. He starts daycare next week and I'm so worried he won't cope. We have been doing visits to try and help and he'll start with half days. When we're at home though he cries every time I leave his sight and crawls after me. Sometimes he'll cry when I move away from him even if he can still see me. He also started not wanting to sleep in his cot at the same time and wanting to sleep in my bed.
My baby is exactly the same
Hey emma i really like all your videos. They are very helpful for new mums. I have a problem . My 13 months old baby girl cruises on furniture , stands with holding things , and stands all alone for like 30 seconds and walk little steps but she is not able to pull herself from ground all by herself and hence she is hesitate to walk..how can i help her
Thank you so much you help me alot
Great video🙏🏽
Glad you liked it!
My lo is finding it extremely hard to go to nursery :( just turned 9 months this week and perhaps even thanks to covid he's mainly used to his parents and his separation anxiety is through the roof. We have been going to nursery for 30 min stretching for 3 weeks now and had to pull him out for a whole week due to gastric flu :( feel like a mammoth task :(
First to watch!!! I love your channel😍
Thanks so much!😊
Thank you my baby is doing that and I keep thinking about that
What about toddler that are this way? I’m having a really hard time separating from my 2 year old to do anything even cook dinner or wash dishes
Thank you for the video. Now I understand why my almost 10 month old sob started being so clingy and cries everytime i leave for a few minutes. It actually started as soon i started sleep training, and he now wont let me eveb put him down, i have to be holding him most of the time. Do you think its related to sleep training and would you still think its a phase or is there something i can do. PS sleep training was a gentle one day thing not a long traumatic experience and he goes to sleep happily without fussing so i dont think he’s traumatized.
HELP!! I have a 10mo who's been here since birth.. The family is awesome but I've asked them not to stay so long at drop off.. 1st time parents and I've talked to them about it. The only time that he's not screaming is during nap, and feedings. His parents STILL rock him to sleep. He's built like a 2yo and just learned how to sit up and crawl. I'm at my wits end and as many of me speaking 2 them, nothing changes..
Hi Emma. Can you make a video of what are the issues that pandemic babies might face. I'm talking about babie to 2 years single child's who doesn't have contact with people or other kids. And what can we do to avoid those issues in regard to people and other child. I feel my baby cries when she's close to other people I'm not sure if it's the stage or a problem developed because she doesn't spend time with other kids
my 5 month old is going through this - she cries out when she does not see me , wont let anyone else hold her - is it too early for separation anxiety?
What about for baby who doesn’t understand words?My baby is 8 mo will cry even when I go to the kitchen.
My baby six month I can’t go to steps away from him
Okay I need some super urgent help! I have done everything, my baby(10 months) is okay exploring on her own for 5 minutes but she just cries and cries and cries after that and wants to be picked and held constantly. I don't know what to do. I am kind of a single mom - dad and family are in another country. Help if you guys have any trips
My daughter has just started doing this a lot at childcare drop off. She isn't clingy at other times. Feel she is tired and not getting enough sleep at childcare. Almost thinking of changing childcare. She really doesn't seem to enjoy it. She's a bit older at 16 months or so.
My son is 8 months old. About two weeks ago, we tried to go over to my MIL's house for dinner. He's never been there before (she lives in a different town), and he's only seen her and my hubby's stepdad a few times. She of course wanted to hold him soon after we got there, and that resulted in him crying inconsolably for nearly 15 minutes. This gave me a major anxiety attack, I just wanted to take him and leave. He was probably tired (he'd only had about a 20 minute nap, in the car), and the only thing that really got him to calm down was a bottle (I believe it was a little early for food at that point but it did calm him down). After that, he was fine to just stay with me and play on his mat that we'd brought. However, she tried to hold him again, and he again started crying. How do we combat this? He cried that time for about 5 minutes, until my hubby started playing with him by whooshing him into the air. Needless to say, I'm extremely anxious now about going back over there, and we have plans to go there for Thanksgiving :/
Is there any problem if we introduce solid foods after 5 months to baby??
In Australia the recommendation is generally to introduce solids at 6 months of age when they have more sitting balance and better skills. But some paediatricians do recommend starting earlier.
Thank you!
You're welcome!
My 18 month old want me to hold him all the time. 🙆♀️ Working from home I'd becoming difficult.
Hi Emma, My sleep trained 7 month old is now experiencing seperation anxiety. This is great for wake time, but what should I be doing with a baby that now screams everytime I place her in her crib? I've read leaving the room (like when check and concole sleeping training) will make the anxiety worst. Would love to know your thoughts? Signed: Deperate in Canada.
What about a 1 month old? He refuses to stay with my mom and we live without th her. He cries until I get him back from her and then boom silence. She’s super sweet too idk why he hasn’t taken to her yet
Any advice for 2 years old boy when at home and he's like this ?? Me and his dad is home but lately just wants me
my daughter is 2 and it is chaotic when i leave her at the daycare, she cried non-stop
Hopefully some of the steps in this video help make it a little easier on you both!
I made a mistake by sending my 2 year old to nursery for straight 3 hours and 5 hours without settling him to the nursery also another mistake was I did not say good bye. He now has developed fear and is very clingy and don’t want to be in the place where children are playing. Any suggestions
My 8 month old starts daycare next week and i know she will go thru this 🙁 I am also having a hard time getting her to nap on her own so she can transition smoothly to daycare naps. Any videos or advice on how to teach them to take good naps will be very appreciated 🤗
Hi Mari thanks for the comment. I have this video on catnapping which covers some information on healthy sleep habits which might be helpful. th-cam.com/video/v5qQVkOtpX4/w-d-xo.html
8 months daycare? What is wrong with all of you. Almost every second person here says the same. This is insanity. Why did you choose in the first place to have a child when you don't want to spend time with it? It's your responsibility to raise a child not of a daycare worker.
For my part, I'm just a divorced father and rasing my girls alone. I would never bring over my soul to leave my children at a daycare at such a young age. This is so wrong on many levels. I dropped my job to be there for my girls 24/7. What my ex wife is not ready to sacrifice.
@trolo jolo Not everyone is able to leave their job. We have bills to pay....they don't pay themselves!!! You have no idea nor is it your business, why parents choose to put their little ones into care. Stop being so harsh. Your comments are so unkind. I hope your girls don't see them.
My little one is 14 months old but her separation anxiety is at her peak still how can I overcome that
My little one is 4 months old and has started doing this except she will cry and scream for 2 hours straight. Any tips? What can I do? I’m returning to work soon.
Can this start at 4 months. He was doing great with my in laws and now he just cries when he’s with anyone but me including his dad and siblings. Hoping to try out some of the tips in this video when he wakes up from his nap. Thank you
Mine is 2 years old and still has terrible separation anxiety
My baby is five months and 11 days old. And he won’t let any other than me or my boyfriend to hold him and he will bust to cry. Is that a sign of separation anxiety?
Hi Emma my little one is not letting me do work in the kitchen.
He is ok if I am sitting near him but as soon as i go in the kitchen he will just crawling to the kitchen and stand in my legs, and started crying all the time.
Which makes my life hard.
I try to give him some boxes to play but he is ok for few minutes and again starting crying for me to pickup him up.
Sometimes i am so frustrat about it
Any tips?
8-12 months? Mine began this sort of behavior last week, at 2 months. Crying if we left, calling us back to him. Smiling when he sees us.
What does this imply for his development??
Me too, my baby started crying when I left them at about 8 weeks/2 months and I don't know what to do with me having to go back to work soon
“Leave with a happy face” 😭😭😭
Hi! I love your videos! Is it still separation anxiety when my 5-month old baby keeps on looking at me while interacting with other adults?
Hi @Nikita some babies do display separation anxiety as early as 4 to 5 months of age, but it tends to be strongest/peak at around 9 months of age. I would say your little one is seeking your reassurance when she is interacting with other adults and making sure you are still present.
I think Covid has made separation anxiety start early. My boy is 6 months and has been like this for a while. 'Stranger Danger ' is also another challenge
Hi @Alice D thanks for the comment. I do hink Covid has had an impact on our babies. Particularly ‘stranger danger’ as they have limited interaction with other people. Also when we as parents are anxious about going out and seeing people - which people are during these times- babies pick up on these feelings and also display them/ appear more unsettled. Hopefully the tips in this video help you get through this challenging phase 😀
My Daughter is almost 2 and this started recently, is this normal?
My 2nd Child is 1 year 3 month.
She will hit her head on floor or throw tanturm even she is with her father. and it's stressing me out
Hello Emma, my daughter just turned 4 months last we and she seems to have separation anxiety already. Is that ok?
Is this thing possible in 4-5 months of age? I can't even leave the room and go to the toilet without my little one crying 😟
My baby is 14months old now, she is presenting separation anxiety is that possible or is it something else ?
My 10 months old baby just wants to be held all the time . What to do ??
@emmahubbard what about screaming crying uncontrollably as soon as we enter another building, how should that be addressed? #pandemicbaby
My baby is 4 months and he will cry the whole time😢😢 soon as I pick him up he stops
