Our 5 month old, breastfed baby has horrible separation anxiety. I cannot even be next to someone else holding her to calm her down. Even her own father just gets non stop screams until I can hold her again or she falls asleep. I know that preferring mom is common in babies this age, and especially so for breastfeed babies, but I didn't know it could be this extreme. Is our only option to just wait out the phase, or are there things we can do to ease her extreme discomfort? I love my baby, but being the only one who can soothe her is a daunting role to be in, and it makes me feel a lot of guilt for little things like taking a shower or cooking dinner. via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2Uyboqc
