My 10 month old cries when anyone leaves the room…
My daughter is about a week shy of 10 months. We have recently gone through some things such as me moving out of our house and moving in with the person that watches her, her boyfriend, and their son. My daughter loves all 3 of them! She lights up just about every time when (especially they’re two years old) walks into the room. She crawls like crazy and has no problem venturing into the other room to find things to play with. However, when someone leaves the room, even when there are still people in the room, she cries. She cries and screams even before the walk out of the room. She is hardly left alone in a room because there are 4 of us! I know about separation anxiety and all of that. I hate that she cries and even tell her I will be right back, but that doesn’t seem to help. I hate that she cries, but it is also irritating.

She is still adjusting to the changes. Give her time to settle in.

Sounds like she’s mad that she’s being left out

Seperation Anxiety is a normal milestone at that age.

Babies cry. if they are not hurt or don’t need anything, then there isn’t anything you can do. Just wait until she is a toddler and gets frustrated because she can’t make.something work the way she wants it to. I’ll say it again, babies cry. You need to deal with it. you can’t fix everything for your kid. Keep explaining things to her she will eventually understand.

Youre irritating.
Learn to be a parent. She doesnt know how to express how she fucking feels. Shes a BABY. Grow up, lady. Learn to distract her when shes upset.
My son is 9 months and just started doing this as well.
My daughter is ten months this is completely normal.
Its normal at that age, especially after a move. Changes are upsetting. She’ll get over it. You just have to be patient.
Moving into a different atmosphere might cause this. Even at 10 months they know. Give her time, I agree with Christine just take her with you. She needs reassurance.
Normal my 10 month old does it too I feel like it’s more that she wants to come see what I’m doing rather than separation anxiety
My 7 month old does this… my other children did this also
Perfectly normal at that age. I work in a lot of church nurseries and I see it all the time. It can be someone they don’t even know. It will pass.
My baby is 11 months and he cries only when I leave or walk away and nothing has changed with us to cause it so I think it’s normal @ this age. He is all about momma right now too lol I hate when he cries but I do the same and say hold on momma will be right back and most of the time he will follow me and I end up getting him and we both go lol I don’t know any tricks or what to say other than your not alone!!
Thank God… It is not only my daughter
Normal, my 12 month old does the same thing. She shouldn’t ever be in a room by herself anyway, crawling babies need to be supervised every second, they can get hurt in an instant.
Totally normal phase! Be patient and empathetic with her, and make a point to be easily found so she doesnt fear being alone. She will outgrow it.
