Over the past week Ella has started to get way more clingy than normal. She used to fine if I left her playing on her own so I could go to the bathroom etc, but lately everyone I leave she starts to protest- this afternoon she started crying because I got her bag out of the car before her. It isn't just me either, whenever the caregiver left her this afternoon she started doing exactly the same thing. I realise that it is totally normal around 8 months for babies to go through this..........just wondering how long I should expect this phase to last????
