My son has NEVER and I mean never been clingy. He use to go to everyone, but now he won't go to anyone he will grab me and won't let go won't even let me put him on the floor. Will scream at the top of his lungs sometimes, it's crazy because at doctors offices he use to try and go to everyone that walked by, now he won't even go to my papaw which he knows very well. Not sure what's going on.. 😔
It's a phase, I didn't believe it when it was said to me but it got to the point where I couldn't walk out of the room to go to the bathroom without a melt down and that's because my daughter was with her dad. It gets better most grow out of it we're on the other side of it where she's starting to be more social and independent again.
It could definitely be a phase. My DD has never been "clingy" she's just a complete mommies girl. Do you think you might be pregnant? It's common for kids to become attached to their mothers when they become pregnant.
