Hi ladies, ive just read back on what we chatted about before when we talked about clingy babies, but Taras got it big time. Worse than Naimh by a long shot!! i didnt know there were levels of clingyness, but ive certainly found out there is.

3days ago, i left Tara with my mil and fil (shes stayed plenty of times with them) and she cried most of the time i was out. Then, when me n ant were at the funeral yesterday, she was left with a friend for 3 hours, and she cried pretty much the whole time (apart from when she cried herself to sleep), i felt so bad. Then, today, i took Niamh to tumbletots, and i was only gone an hour, and tara was with the inlaws again, and again, SCREAMED the whole time except for a few mins before i came in where she had once again, tired herself out and fallen asleep. I know it wont last orever, and i cant put everything on hold because of it, but tomorrow morn im working, and shes staying with ant for the morning, so im hoping that will be ok, but we'll soon find out.

aaarrrgh, i forgot what having a clingy baby is like. I remember Niamh going through a clingy stage at 6-8months, but she was quite easily distracted, but nothing will console Tara. i feel horrible.
anyone else going through the same thing??

ps, sorry bout the essay, needed to get it off my chest

Morning Kas
That must be so hard for you, Jessica did go through a clingy stage, but like Niamh she was easily ditracted!

As you said it is only a phase, which i know doesn't make it any easier and it will pass.
The only thing you can do is not to give in to it and she will eventually get better.
Let us know how she gets on with Ant today, i bet she will be fine as she is in her own home as well.

Thanks guys, she was fine with ant today, thank goodness, and we've decided to try something different tomorrow. The inlaws are coming to collect her from here instead of me dropping her to them, so we'll see if that helps at all.

Like Simone says, i wont give in, and am keeping fingers crossed she'll get through this stage soon

thanks again

Ethan has his days of clingyness - like today, I could'nt even give him to someone else ( with me standing next to him ) whilst I helped Zoe with something. It was'nt as if I was even more than a metre away. Ethan is generally worse when he is tired or is ill/teething.

Hi Kas
Sounds like you are having a nightmare with Tara!! I can understand why its upsetting you! I hope she soon settles down for you!! Sorry I can't help you with any advice!! Fingers crossed that she'll be ok for you when you are working.

I hope that Bronwyn manages to avoid being clingy!

hi guys, sorry im late replying.
yes, she was a bit better yesterday thankfully! she had outbursts, but was able to be settled fairly quickly.

our computer decided to have a funny on us last nite and i was chaperoning the young cast of panto last nite, thats why i wasnt on. then, when i went to check the girls when i got back, niamh was sick in her bed, so that was 10.45, so i was way too tired once we'd cleaned up to come on.

hope you all had a good day

i suppose the main thing is you got to spend some time alone together, which is what everyone needs now and again.

have you got anything planned for tomorrow??
