She wakes up every morning crying, and when I go in to pick her up, she hits herself on the head and cries even more until I give her some milk and we watch a bit of tv. Then the rest of the day shes crying at my feet going, “up?? Up???” And if I don’t pick her up she just cries. She doesn’t wanna do anything but have me carry her around all day.

It’s come to the point where I literally dread her waking up in the morning which is completely awful but she’s just so miserable and clingy and it makes me miserable too. Idk what to do. I feel like a bad mom because she seems so unhappy

Obviously she does still play but it’s not often. And yeah taking her out places helps but I can’t be doing that all day every day. She really just wants to be held all day. Like worse than a newborn. I can’t even put her in her highchair to eat sometimes. But with anyone else, her dad or grandparents, she’s not like this at all and is perfectly happy. So why is she so miserable with me?? And It’s not my mood because I only get upset after she’s already been upset all day. Is anyone else going through this??
