Separation anxiety in babies

Your baby can't stand your absences? Separation anxiety normal for little ones. Here are a few things to help you understand it.


  • Separation anxiety is a normal stage of emotional development and begins when babies understand that people exist even when they are not present.
  • Toddlers may experience it as early as 6 or 7 months, but for most, it peaks between 10 and 18 months and diminishes by age 2.
  • To help your baby cope better, you can gently introduce them to other people.

Bro this shit getting annoying… plays your game from the time you get up which is about 9am, and then when it’s 1:30 in the morning and I ask you to come to bed because I haven’t spent any time with you all fucking day and can’t sleep without you because I have separation anxiety and can’t fall asleep unless you’re next to me and you wanna bitch and say “I only have the weekend to stay up” like you don’t need to stay up all weekend and play your game. You literally play it for hours upon hours you can get tf off and spend time with me. It’s not even spending time with me I literally asked you to come and sleep. Am I not even worth that? Fuck. I wish I could just do something, but I literally sit on this couch all day on my phone. I walk around my apartment complex for a few but after a while I can’t. So I literally spend hours on my phone doing nothing. I’m just tired of begging for attention and getting ignored

See I don’t like that. I don’t like the “I’m not cheating on you just be greatful for that” like be great full that your honoring the basics of our relationship? But just ignore the fact that you literally haven’t paid attention to me in 3 fucking days because it’s been game game game game game game game game sleep. 9am-2am he’s been on his game, hasn’t taken a break not once. I cooked dinner, did laundry, did dishes, and when I asked him to come to bed to cuddle and watch a movie you say “I’m not tired idk what to tell you” like how about you say “yeah baby let’s go watch a movie I know I’ve been playing with my friends for the last 3 days all day, I can take a break for the night and watch a movie” but no he’s gonna wait until like 4-5am to come to bed when And then sleep until 12pm and wake Up and do it all over again

I feel like a complete failure as a mother. My daughter will be 14 weeks in 3 days. Not only will my baby not take a bottle, she has developed Separation Anxiety/Stanger Anxiety. My MIL comes over at least 3 times a week and would love to see her and smile at her. Now she cries with her or anyone she has seen before. I had to get groceries but didn’t want to take her out in the cold/rain. My MIL watched her for me and said as soon as I left she screamed herself to sleep. I regret not taking her out more now but with COVID and how cold it’s been I didn’t want to expose her. I’m anxious to bring anyone around her now and so discouraged. I feel like I have failed her.

Girl, stop... Separation anxiety is normal. You are her main caregiver and if she doesn't know where you are she knows she will die. Baby brain is on that cave man shit. She just knows she can not live without you, so she is scared when you leave. She trusts you and only you. You are her everything. Also a bottle is meant to simulate the boob. I don't see how it's bad for a baby to not want the fake boob when she can have the real one and connect with mom (you) more. It's biological and instinctual. Perfectly normal. Bottles didn't exist before someone made them and I'm sure those babies who never took a bottle developed just fine without them. You are not a failure as a mom. You are a regular mom with a baby doing what she is naturally wired to do and you are feeling the pressures society puts on mom to do everything by the Book of Today. Chuck that shit out the window. No two babies are alike. Follow your intuition and your daughter's natural inclinations instead. You both will be happier.

?? thank you. The bottle issue is because I go back to work in a month. But I needed to hear that. I shouldn’t have to care if she doesn’t take to a person. Everyone will have to deal

I can’t stand my dogs ?? it makes me feel so bad and selfish but I can’t stand them. Since I knew I was pregnant I don’t know why I just can’t be around them, I don’t feel like petting them or cuddling with them, playing etc like before. I just can’t stand anything they do (my small one is very stubborn and the big one has separation anxiety) I just don’t know if it’s normal or I’m being mean. But they really piss me off at a whole different level I have never been before. Before being pregnant they were my babies, I spoiled them and everything. I just don’t know.
