Does your baby want to be with you all the time? This is normal and not something to be ashamed of. It can be very exhausting. You can make this easier by doing several things. Continue reading to find out more. This article will give you some suggestions on how to handle this common problem.
It's quite normal
Being with your baby all the time can make it difficult and exhausting. You can't leave your baby to sleep, bathe, or take care of yourself without it crying. It feels like you have abandoned your baby. You can keep your head down and listen to what your baby is saying.
During the first three month period, your baby will most likely rely on you to soothe and keep him or her happy. After three months, your baby will be dependent on you to keep him or her happy and soothe them. They'll then start to interact more with other people. When your baby cries, resist the urge to comfort him or her. Instead, calm him or her by holding something that has mom's scent.
Your baby may prefer your fragrance. This is normal. You may find your baby prefers to be held and covered with clothes. This will provide a similar scent to mom, but will help them adjust to the smell of other people as well.
It's only natural
It is common for babies to be attached to their mother in the beginning months of their lives. The baby is biologically dependent on her or his mother to nurse him or her, so he or she prefers her mother. Breastfed babies spend the majority of their time with their mothers. But even if you have a bottle-fed baby, chances are that he or she will want to be with his or her mom as well.
A baby that wants nothing but you can be very exhausting and overwhelming. Sometimes it is tempting to just give up and retreat into the room. You can still be frustrated, but remember that mom likely has faced similar challenges to you.
It is exhausting
Sometimes it seems like your baby is only interested in spending time with you. It's normal and common for this to happen, but it can be difficult for parents to accept. Your baby may not express his/her emotions in words, but you can help him/her through the stage by making him/her spend time with both parents.
It can be exhausting to be the only caregiver for your baby, whether you are a dad or mom. It's hard to bathe or care for your baby without it crying. For dads, it's even more difficult.
You as a parent need to understand your child's feelings and make them feel special. It's exhausting for a new mom to have their baby rejecting them and only wanting their partner.
