A Third Leg!

Anyone out there that has children will understand this one. At least I hope I am not the only mother that is going though this. Kalaia, since about 4 months old, has had this separation anxiety,so the doctors call it. At her 4 month visit to the doctors I was explaining how she needs to see me at every waking moment. If I walked to another room she would scream. Even if someone else was entertaining her. He proceeds to tell me, oh... Lucky you seems like she has an early case of separation anxiety fear. That doesn't usually hit till about 9 or 10 months. So every visit, 6 months, 9 months, and now here we are at a year visit she had on the 10th of October. I'm going though the course of the day to him, telling him that its only getting worse. Try to make it easy as possible for you and her. If you can do it with her go ahead and if you need to put her down and do something its not going to hurt her to cry for a bit. (he has never heard her cry) so anyway I'm thinking when is it going to end, I would like to be able to use the bathroom alone once and a while, at the very least, with out having to make it a horse race . He's telling me it will end sometime. All I kept thinking was great, is that next year or when she graduates high school! Now another month has almost gone by and she is worst than ever. I am beginning to think its going to be more like collage. Don't get me wrong I love the fact that she wants me, but I think this is getting to be ridiculous. If anyone has any tips on how to make this time any easier for Kalaia and me and well... Anyone else that's around at the time I need to leave the area. LOL!!!
So my big tummy turned into a growth off my side which turned into a weight on my leg and now a third leg. I really don't want to know what's next. :)

well, how do you feel about going back to school, starting with kindergarten and working your way through? lol

What happens if you try to let her cry it out? Start small and work your way up. Leave the room for a few minutes one day and slowly increase the time each day. Sure she will scream but it will probably get worse before it gets better.

Just my humble opinion. I've never had a child with separation anxiety so im not really sure what it is like - although my mom said Jon was like that for a few years.

Good luck
