My daughter is 15 months old and for the past 5 months or so she has been extremely whiny and clingy to me. As long as i'm on the floor or sitting down she will play around ok at times but as soon as i get up to get something or cook dinner she immediately clings to my leg and cries to be picked up. Don't get me wrong i love my little girl so much but this is really starting to wear me out. The thing that really gets me is that she is only that way towards me. I had my husband watch her today while i ran some errands and she was completely fine! she hadn't cried or whined even once and i was gone a couple of hours! as soon as i got home she right away started to cry and whine again. I also leave her at my sisters house at times and she says the same thing that she is completly fine the entire time and will just play by herself but as soon as im in the door it starts i don't know what i'm doing wrong? She already talks a lot so she can tell me what she wants (she says drink, eat, wet, hold me, etc) so i don't think its frustration that she can't get thru to me. This is literally an all day every day thing for me...i've tried to get down at her level and explain to her that i can't hold her all the time and i'm busy, i've tried to just ignore it all together, and have also tried to distract her with a snack or toy but nothing seems to work! please if anyone has any advice or a technique that worked let me know!
i have absolutely no problem putting her to bed...we can just lay her down in her crib and she says bye momma...and thats it she doesn't cry or anything just goes right to bed
