Sep. Anxiety?

[Deleted]

M is back to not wanting to sleep in her crib. H holds her or I lay in my bed with her. *sigh* awesome. It's been that way all week. Dr said teething or sep anxiety. I'm starting to think sep anxiety because her mouth hasn't seemed to bother her anymore.

Now is the time for separation anxiety. Colin has started this in the last few days and it's so pathetic (and kind of cute, but, I can't get anything done or ME time). I've been telling him "I'll be right back" and things like that to try to ease him into it. I know he might not understand but I figure overtime he will begin to.

Jakey's separation anxiety is terrible right now, but he sleeps in his crib still. I read somewhere (either baby center or CDC) that 9 months is the height if sep anxiety. J cries every single fucking time I leave the room or enter the room he is in.

Yeah, lots of seperation anxiety going on here too. It's at a point where the only person I can leave her with for longer than 10 minutes is DH. Everyone else is out to steal her from her mommy in her eyes and she wants no part of it! Thing is, she has been like this for a while now and I worry it's more than a Developemental stage she will outgrow.

Just bite the bullet and stick her in the crib! It might be a rough couple of nights, but you'll sleep well afterwards

I agree with this. It's going to be what's best for you both in the end.

Yep, short term pain for long term gain.

I agree with all who said rip the bandaid off and put her in the crib. I can definitely commiserate with the sep. anxiety. DS has it baadd. We're better this week but I couldn't even pee last week without him clawing at my legs and trying to climb up in my lap.
