Is it normal for lo to go through a clingy phase at this age? When I say clingy, I mean literally hanging onto my leg wherever I go! And all I hear all day is 'mummy, mummy, mummy, mummy!' It seems whenever I'm busy with something, or with Evie my 7 month old, Lily just has to try and get my attention by shouting!

I just don't know what to do! The one thing I hated most as a child was that feeling of being ignored when trying to talk to my mum- so I don't want to ignore Lily when she's trying to talk to me, but she always wants me to help her with something or play a game right when I'm at my busiest.

Any ideas? Could it be she's a bit jealous of Evie? She's never horrible to her though. Or is it just a clingy phase and how do I deal with it?

haha I am going through the exact same thing. same age too. driving me nuts. no idea what to do but just thought i would let you know you're not alone

me too . no 2 due To arrive this week and matts driving me nuts with it. Health Visitor reckons its a phase. x

I hope it is just a phase and that passes for all of us soon! Though dragging a toddler around on your leg is certainly a good workout lol!
