Ok moms so I’m expecting baby #3 and it’s a boy and I have two girls a 5 year old and a 2 year old I’m off work until I have my baby because I’m high risk but anyways I need advice my two year old doesn’t let me do nth she cries and cries for me I can’t even take a shower or go to the bathroom she won’t go to anyone she just wants to be up under me have anyone else experienced this does it get better what do I do I’m stressed out
She is enjoying having a full time mother and not a part time one. I would every second of it.
My daughter was like this, still is. If I’m busy with the baby I get dad to handle her. Tell her dad can take care of her too and tell dad to make it fun so she enjoys it. But if my hands are free, I go to her. When she gets bigger she might not want her mama all the time, I enjoy this moment. She is 2 and a half and the new baby is 2 months old now. Don’t stress and enjoy these little moments
It’s possible because you’re pregnant she wants to be with you more. My youngest was that way when I got pregnant again. It’s like somehow they know they aren’t going to be the “baby” anymore. Even though they’re all our babies always.
Put her in a place for toddlers a couple of times a week, where she can play with other children her age. It’s going to be a hard adjustment for you.
The youngest is usually always clingy when you’re pregnant. The best thing would be to just try and schedule time for her to be with other people without you present. She will cry and it will suck but it will get better. Just shut the door and let her cry in a safe space if you can’t schedule time to be away. Look into once or twice a week daycare or like MDO programs so she can have socializing with other kids away from you. Good luck!
I feel like I’m posting this on all posts now a days!
Behavior is a language of NEEDS. What is your child’s behavior tell you they need today?
If she needs you, it’s what she needs. These are the biggest feelings of her life that she’s ever had.
However I do advocate for just walking out when she’s safe with another person. If you are over worked and stressed out then your ability to handle her big feelings is not gonna be great.
Trust me, it gets better. Please take care of you
Toddlers are very clingy and it’s not very uncommon for her to be following you everywhere/ wanting to be under you. The only suggestions I can make are baby gates, have them set up so that she doesn’t have free roam to the entire house if you’re wanting privacy in the bathroom/ to shower. Or try to plan showers for when someone else is home with you to entertain her. It will pass eventually!
