When did you newborn stop wanting to be held 24/7?

Question

Don't get me wrong I love my daughter but I can't put her down unless someone else is around to hold her. I have to let her cry just to pee or shower and I've been co-sleeping even though I don't like it so I can actually get some rest. When do they get less clingy?

Answer

My 7 month old son is still very clingy. He hit "stranger danger" super early and now won't let anyone but me or daddy hold him. He mostly prefers me, though . Probably because he's breastfed and doesn't like to be far from his milk.

I don't mind, though. I get lots of baby cuddles and when I get frustrated, I just remind myself that I'll miss the hell out of this one day.

Answer

around the 4 month mark usually but some are more needy than others hun

Answer

My first was almost 1 before he was over it, my second is 3.5 years and she's still attached to an invisible cord.

Answer

I have a three year old that is STILL CLINGY 😂. She won't sleep on her on, she still has to lay under me to go to sleep. She won't let me shower or poop in peace! She has to be under me.

Answer

My now two year old was clingy until she was almost 11 months old. Now she's very independent and social, still loves to snuggle, but isn't clingy. Some kids just need more emotional support as babies. Hoping the one on the way is more independent early on.

Answer

mine is 3 months and I'm finally getting him to sleep alone,but I wait till he fall asleep on my chest then lay him down. they say it takes 20-30 minutes for babies to be in deep sleep so try to do that. but your baby just might love cuddles soo much lol and have you tried swaddling yet?it didn't work for mine because he sleep with one arm up and and the other down but try it if you haven't😊
