DS cosleep with us and is now 1 year old. We are wondering if he is
starting to be "clingy" in a bad way. And here's what I mean..
He now has started something where if we are all together, and 1 of us
leaves the room, he starts crying, even though one of us is still
there with him. If we're all in bed at night, and I go out to do
something he starts to cry. OK maybe not every single time but more
times than not. Is this a phase? Is this a sign of a bad behavior and
are we doing something wrong?
We visited my parents over the weekend, and he doesn't like being
picked up by them. He does the same for her parents too. Now, he
doesn't get to see either set of parents but maybe once a month, if
that. My parents live 3 hours away. And of course we both work full
time, and DW's parents are just not available to care for him even
though they live 20 mins away. Is this still typical at his age and I
guess he thinks they are strangers? He smiles, is sometimes shy, but
he sure doesn't like being easily picked up by the grandparents.
Wife is starting to think about getting a bed for him and putting it
next to our bed to get him adjusted. I'm thinking "tough love" and put
him in his crib.
We beginning to question what we're doing as far as cosleeping is
concerned.
Any advice?
Thanks
Paul
