My mom thinks Carson is getting separation anxiety because I was telling her he won't sleep anywhere but with me in my bed. He also cries if I face away from him while he's still awake. Is this the beginning of separation anxiety? Being a SAHM I'm with my son 24/7 literally. I never get a baby sitter he goes EVERYWHERE with me. I also out of habit do everything for him even when his dad is home so no one ever cares for him but me. Do I need to make some changes? I want what's best for us both obviously. Ugh.

My advice is to always follow your instincts when it comes to your baby
@carparker00, I love spending time with my baby too and I'm not about to let her cry it out because she literally can't or she will stop breathing lol so I just answer to her needs and hope she will outgrow it when she gets older and more independent
@mamesey, that's what I'm afraid of but I really love spending so much time with my son
There are times where I sit on the floor with my baby to play and she will scream bloody murder if I place her on the floor just an inch away from me. She needs to be in my lap. It's very bad.
Lol I was the same 😂😂 as long as you know when you need the help you let it happen. I hated letting my SO take her out for 2hrs without me even tho I needed it lol but it felt even better when I finally got her back. as he gets older you will start to lessen up. right now he's only 3months so cuddle him as much as you want lol
Could be the start. My daughter has awful separation anxiety and if I move even a foot away from her she screams and will hyperventilate and hold her breath and stop breathing. I also stay at home 24/7 with no help from anyone. Never left her for even 20 minutes before and she's 7 months old. It's common for them to act this way when you're the only one who cares for them. They feel safe with you and only you.
@momtonoasophia, that's the thing I think IM the one with separation anxiety lol I want to spend every second with him
the only change you should make is if you are getting a little overwhelmed or need ME time let your SO take over when he is home for a few hrs 😊 @carparker00
I'm going on a year and you are describing my life so I can honestly say NO DON'T CHANGE A THING. it's normal for them to want to be close to you with the nursing and separation anxiety creeps up at 3months and around 10months. it just proves your a good mom 😊 keep it up! I'm just now putting my daughter in her own bed at night and yes it's a little tough cause she don't want me to leave her but as long as I sit with her until she falls asleep she knows she is ok and when she wakes she comes banging on my door lol
@mamesey, that's worked for me so far!
