1 year old baby trouble?


i have a 13 month old baby boy, and he has been reallt attached to me all day, 10 times more then normal, and when it was time for bed he would go to sleep, he wanted me to hold him like a little baby, he would not sit or stand or walk or do anything that he normaly does, he just want me to hold him and hold his bottle for him, what going on?

Answers:
It is one of a few possible things. Either it's the most common, revert backwards phase, that all kids go through, or he is possibly getting sick. Or another thing it could be is if there has been any stress in your home, from you or your spouse? Kids pick up on that so quick. What about teething, getting his two year molars in? Yes they can come in early. So, just for a night or two give in to what he needs or wants and see if you notice any other changes, like fevers, runny nose,etc. Good luck in finding out what's wrong. I wish you the best.

Other Answers:
Nothing, its just a phase....he loves you.
Your going to wish that later on he would be like this, cuz once they are older....lol..you get my point

Well, has there been any major changes in his life...New baby, or someone else hogging your attention away from hims?
Sound like he just wants your attention.


Has anything unusal happened? Have you been away from him for awhile.
When I was in school. I was gone from 7 am until 9 pm.
My daughter got into moods like that the next day.


Sometimes my 2 year old acts like this when she isn't feeling good... could he be getting an ear infection or something? Is his appetite normal? Does he have any fever?
...it's okay to baby him!! He needs it at that age. Maybe he's just going through a phase....


about this age babies get stranger anxiety. it will go away in a few months. Put him down and reassure him that you will be right back. Walk out of the room for a few minute, then come back. Good luck Check and make sure he isn't tugging at his ears or showing signs of getting sick. Mine would do that when they were getting sick.
However, sometimes they just want a little extra security. Especially if they sense that you are under a little extra stress. About 30 minutes before bedtime... light some lavendar or vanilla candles and turn out the lights... play some classical music, not mozart, he's too jumpy.. and then rock your baby. If he'll drink warm chamomile tea... give him some... caffeine free though.
He'll go to sleep easily and have a peaceful night. You'll be relaxed as well.


It sounds like separation anxiety. Totally normal. Your baby is attached to you like glue. He will out grow it. Try to keep the routine as normal as possible for a while, that will help. Also, your son could be teething or getting a little cold. You can give him baby Tylenol or Motrin, if you suspect an illness. it's just he loves you a lot


I have faced similar problem myself. I tackled this problem by bringing lots of toys for the baby. Toys with lots of flashing lights and operated by battery so that the baby is attracted towards them and tries to reach upto them. In this way, I was able to divert its attention from myself to other things. And it certainly helped.

very normal at this age. just wait the next thing he will likely do is start screaming when near strangers or friends or family. A wierd thing but a lot of 12-18month old boys do this too. A fun age but don't wish his childhood away, mine are now 7 and I long for those baby days

Well i dont know about you. But Ive always held my son and his bottle for him and now hes almost 2 and i hold him while he drinks his sippy..I cannot stand to see parents that prop bottles in there babies mouths.Whats wrong with showing your children you love them and dont mind holding them..One day your not going to be able to do that and you wished you did more often. But if hes always been independant then its a phase ( children are always going through phases) and maybe he just wants to cuddle with mommy . I dont see the problem. Maybe he is feeling a little under the weather. Children are always more clingy when they dont feel so good. He might have a low grade fever or a mild bug or might be even teething.
