How to handle the clingy baby / separation anxiety phase 🤍 • Separation anxiety = healthy attachment • Start with short breaks (5–10 mins) • Always say goodbye – don’t sneak away • Let familiar caregivers (dad/grandparents) step in • If baby cries but settles in a few minutes, let them adjust • Create a simple goodbye ritual (hug, kiss, “mumma will be back”) • Take help without guilt – a rested mother is a better mother • When you return, reconnect with cuddles If baby doesn’t stop crying: • Check basics – hunger, sleep, teething • Start smaller – leave the room, not the house • Let the caregiver soothe and distract • If baby is very distressed, pause and try another day Remember: babies aren’t learning that mumma leaves. They’re learning that mumma always comes back. 🤍
