question
Hey guys, I wanted to know how I could encourage my daughter to spend some time by herself. Even if I have to leave for a minute she starts crying. I keep her toys around, I keep talking to her from the kitchen and keep her in her crib so that she can me, but she still wants to be with me. I can see she is crying for attention because the moment I hold her she stops crying. Although it's really sweet to see that she needs her mumma the most, it gets difficult to do house work. Any suggestions? She will complete 8 months soon.

I used to be alone when had my first child... I used to make it a point from the start,&#160; that whenever I left the room,&#160; I would inform her where I was going,&#160; and that I would be back... Initially she used to cry,&#160; n slowly when she realised that crying won't help and that that I come back eventually... She started understanding the idea behind the whole process... Try playing peekaboo often... That should help too... Try informing her and leaving,&#160; and u would be surprised how soon enough ur baby would begin to understand and would eventually stop freaking out <u>In</u>&#160; ur absense

slowly you have to get her used to it... now she thinks you are gone if not visible... peek-a-boo will let her know you exist even if u r not in front of her... i would say, when doing things like cutting vegetables and all, do it where she is playing... then when you put it on gas, dont place her in kitchen, but you can run to and from kitchen to her... thats my exercise.. ha ha...
