*I* think the only thing you can do is stay really attached to him. Maybe wear him when running errands, taking special time out of every hour to play 1:1 with him. Are you nursing? If so maybe lie down when you nurse him and make it a devoted "him time".

 

My DD has always been high needs so I find that if I regularly meet those needs she is much more independent and not attacking me all day for attention!
