Closely-Spaced Siblings

How long does seperation issues tend to last?  I know Jorja had it for a while and it obviously went away, but if I take one step in the oposite direction of cortney she LOOSES IT!  If I let Jorja sit on my knee and not her so looses it!  If someone comes over who may babysit, she looses it thinking I am going to leave!

I know this will pass... but man is it tough!  I am with her all day always!  I do have a sitter come in Monday Mornings (luckly the sitter gets here before cortney gets up!)

Any words of encouragment!

My 10 month old is just about as bad. I have not gone out with my husband in I don't know how long. We recently had a family reunion and all of the aunts and uncles wanted to hold the baby and she was not having it. I know things get better because they did with my 3 year old dd but man I feel your pain about the younger one. one thing I have tried that has worked for a short time (long enough to get a glass of water or adjust something in the oven. ins walk in the other room and wait about 5 seconds and then pop back in and say boo, repeat about 5 times each time staying away a little longer and always coming back and saying boo so she knows I am coming back. It does not always work but I am sure you could give it a shot. also you might try spending some devoted one on one time. She might need that extra "I know my mommy is right here" time. I hope things work out for you (me as well!) Just know you are not alone.
