Sounds like seperation anxiety. They normally start to go through it around 7-8 months. I think its just a phase so it may end as fast as it began. I used to take my infants in the bathroom with me too though, in a bouncy seat with some toys. I also agree with April too for other situations.

it does stop... my son was like that at about 9 months (this is when i quite my job and became a sahm) he eventually got used to me being home and doing chores and what not... have you thought about using a sling? does she crawl yet? i let my son follow me around the house and that helped

Oh hun. Boy do I know how that is. Gabby is often the same way. Its so exhausting having her need to constantly be with me. The only thing that I do is have her dad spend as much time with her as possible (and others too when they are around) when he is home to get her used to being with other people. I also leave her be for a few minutes when she is only just doing her `complaining` cry so that she gets that she sometimes needs to be on her own. It gets me listening to her cry and I usually cave pretty quickly though *L*

I am sorry, my older son is like that. I wish i had something to tell you that would make it better. Just now at 3 and half he is at the point where he doesn`t have to be with me and/or my DH to be ok. Good news is it got much better over time. At 7 mo i either was holding him or he was crying. At a year he would be happy playing with me on the floor. At 18 months he was happy playin on the floor while i did something else in the same room. By 2 i didn`t have to be in the room but he had to see me. Now at 3 he just has to know where i am. So over time it does improve. Good Luck and hang in there. The sling idea is a great one! I used a baby bjorn with back support. My oldest was a beast! He was to big for his infant seat at 3 mo! haha.

You`re definitely not alone. My son is 14 months old and demands a lotof my attention. I do think though that as your daughter gets a bit older and is either crawling or walking she`ll be able to amuse herself a little more and shell suddenly gain a lot of independance. I know it can be hard at times but just try to out up with with it as they`re only babies for a very short time. I have to agree with `iloveyouconrad`, I don`t mind it and my son is my pal and we have a ball together. Sometimes it`s a bit hard trying to get things done around the house but it eventually gets done, and the bigger chores such as vacuuing, mopping etc my hubby and I do together on weekends.
