Long story short, a few weeks ago we spent a day at the ER with our DD who had an abscess or something in her mouth and she got iv antibios and fluids, and catscan....

 

anyways, since then her separation anxiety and stranger danger went thru the roof, which didn't surprise me a ton, even though we didnt ever leave her alone at the hospital it was still pretty traumatic.  But what is surprising me is gradually over the last two weeks she has really wanted me and me alone.  

 

My husband and I split the day with her, I work 7am to 11:30am and my husband works from noon to 9:30pm so we dont have to put her in daycare.  It used to be just fine him and her in the ams, now he tells me almost every day she just yells for me all the time and makes the milk sign (I am still nursing her)  it's especially bad at nap time, she wakes up screaming for me and wont let her dad even touch her for almost an hour sometimes before she finally sighs and goes to him.  Dad times his morning shower so by the time they get out I'm usually home, he has told me some mornings she actually tries to encourage him to take an early shower, I'm assuming because she thinks then I will be home.  (She's a pretty smart little kid)  

 

I'm worried about my husband, I can tell he is getting really frustrated with her, and I'm a tad fed up too because on the weekends when we are both home she clings to me a lot and I need a break dangit.  

 

Sleeping has been harder too, we cosleep and lately it seems like unless my boob in in her mouth she is not going to sleep, which makes it REAL hard for me to sneak away for some time to myself.

 

Anyways, any ideas?  Is it just a phase?

 

thanks
