I’m talking the first 6 weeks over on stories th

The general consensus I’m getting from a lot of

Let’s talk crying.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Not the kind of “whether to leave your baby to cry or not to get to sleep or not” crying, but the all day, separation anxiety, endless crying that I’ve been experiencing from this one for the last 6 or so months.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
See, it may seem when I talk about my children that they are some sort of Parent and Baby Coach prodigies, and I can admit that I don’t have to worry about their sleep or eating, they do those things pretty well.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But the endless separation anxiety and constant wanting to be in my arms from this little man has at best, on days like today, left me in tears. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
He’s a very different kettle of fish to my first who is calm yet sensitive, who loves his cuddles but is happy to get on and play. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Second time around it’s a very different experience. Since around 11/12 months (he’s now 18), it’s not unusual to have days where he literally doesn’t stop crying at me unless he’s in my arms or sat on me. The craving for Mummy is real. And it’s also exhausting! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
He’s totally fine at our childminder and in the company of anyone else. Except Mummy. Of course. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’ve questioned myself constantly over the last few months, wondering whether he’s in pain and there’s something deeper wrong, whether he still has some hidden reflux, if he should go back to a simpler diet, whether I wasn’t responsive enough to him as a baby, maybe I’ve been too loving (impossible of course). All the thoughts. If anything I’ve been even more responsive than ever second time around. It doesn’t make much sense 🤷🏼‍♀️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So really, just solidarity for anyone else out there experiencing similar, or indeed in general finding something hard today. I might be “The Parent & Baby Coach” and SO love being a parent, but everyone has their battles & my goodness me, this is ours right now 💪🏻
