This is the problem I have a 19th month old baby girl. She is very clingy she will not stay with anyone outside of the sitter. My husband and I have tried eveything to get her from being so clingy. I dont know what to do I love my child but I really need some time to myself. She screams bloody murder if I try to leave her with anyone including family. I am desprate at my wits end. I dont know how to give my child that independence that she needs so that she will not cling to me so much. So if anyone has advice on how to deal with this please help me!!!!! I cant even take a shower without her in the bathroom with me or even go to the restroom alone.
