Is anyone else having the problem were you baby seems to be crying more? I mean like is she/he in the stage of crying for no reason... every time I walk away from Adriaan and he cant see me he cries. If I walk by him and don't pick him up he cries...he just seems to be doing a lot of crying for no reason. Please tell me I am not alone.

sounds like seperation anxiety to me. and it is totally normal. Kyla went through the same thing. try playing peek a boo games with him. hide and say 'where is mommy' then jump out and say here i am. it will teach him that even when he cant see ytou, that you are still there. it really helped with Kyla. even now i still will play it at least once a day.

Yep, Ben I think is just coming out of a pretty fierce separation anxiety phase. It hit him around right around 7.5-8 months, and it caused a lot of night waking, too! Crossing my fingers that we might be moving past it now, though!

yup, Abbey has major seperation anxiety right now!

Yup, it sound like seperation anxiety. Noah is going through it too. He had done so well before hand that i thought he wasnt going to go through it but lately he has started to do it now.

Well I've read a lot about separation anxiety in infants and it very unlikely for children with the parent(s) 24/7 it more likely something else. I think I know what is wrong with Adriaan! He is sick AGAIN! WHY?

because he wants mommy right there with him playing with him...I talk to Dylan when im in another room i tell him mommys stell here and let him know what im doin mommys washing clothes mommys getting something to eat i do this everytime i leave the room..

if u think hes sick take him to the doc and see what they have to say it could be teething also
u was just at the doc the other day did u bring it up then

Caden does the same thing if I walk away from him or he cant see me. I do the peek-a-boo thing, and talk to him to let him know I am still there.

I took him already. It's just a virus not an infection.

Same here! He still cries... He doesn't like peek-a-boo I guess....lol Oh! and I talk to him all the time so he knows I'm still here.
