How do I deal with my 6 month old and his separation anxiety?
My 6 month old has major separation anxiety towards me. He doesn’t do it with his dad or brothers. I am breastfeeding so I guess that is probably why but how do I deal with it? It so bad to the point if I don’t even look at him in the same room he cries and squeals. I go to the bathroom for a quick second and he crying so bad. When do they get over this and anything I can do? Are most babies like this at this age? My 1st son never had it and I breastfed him as well.
my daughter was never really this bad but i have always gave her “alone time” since she was born i would put her on the floor, bouncer, swing, crib whatever and she would entertain herself in that time. when she was able to sit up unsupported i would put her on the floo in the living room with music or cartoons on and lots of toys around her and she would just sit there and play for 30 minutes while i cleaned and stuff like that. now she is 16 months and she can entertain herself for hours at a time, with toys, books anything she helps me in the kitchen. maybe if you set him on the floor with some toys and let him play alone he might get used to playing alone for a few minutes at a time and eventually finding things on his own to play with and coming up to you throughout the day bc he will always love his mommy and want to be cuddled..i hope things work out i know that when kaleigh was a fraction of this i was so stressed out i felt like i couldnt do anything or have anytime to do anything on my own..good luck

Mia Veery wishes her family would conform to her idea of a “normal” American family, like the ones she reads about. That family would not include a mother who flies airplanes and craves adventure; half-sisters who dress in black and read French novels; or a father who moves them from ordinary Ohio to exotic Beirut, Lebanon. Then one day her wish is granted in a way Mia never intended….
OCD and Anxiety vs Sensory Integration Dysfunction and PDD?
I was thinking that it would be awfully easy for a doc to diagnose a person with OCD and/or Anxiety Disorder and simply prescribe anti-anxiety meds without even checking to see if a person’s issues may be related to the way they process sensory input.
I was wondering how many people out there may actually need and not receive Occupational Therapy which could potentially *resolve* these issues rather than meds alone which might only address symptoms, not resolve the issues.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not anti-medication. One of my autistic children has needed anti-anxiety meds in the past. I just know that the inability of the brain to appropriately process sensory information can cause a LOT of anxiety and OCD like behaviors and I just don’t see this recognized as it should be.
What do you think?
I think you’ve done a lot more research on this subject than I have. My son is ADD, PDD and bip. We can tell he’s properly diagnosed because we took him to specialists and a hospital that are world reknown for its ability to help difficult children.
I think that it is possible in any situation for the dr. to just toss a sample to you for a symptom and the symptom comes back, and he continues in that order.
For instance, my son had breathing problems. They just kept giving him breathing treatments, which was treating a symptom, not an illness. Come to find out, a pulmonologist came to their office once a week. Why did he not tell me that?!!
I took my asthma problems elsewhere and took him to an MD specializing in allergies. He put him on two preventative meds and my son almost never needed anonther breathing treatment. I sold the machines at the garage sale.
I’ve learned to ask for specialists. If I think something is out of reach for a dr’s specialty, or I see that the dr. has tried everything he knows how to do, I change drs.
So if you suspect your medical professionals are treating your symptom ask the age old question, “What is causing this and what can I do to stop it?”
I agree about a child inappropriately translating his environment and that causing a host of mental symptoms.
I don’t wat to tell you what to do, but as a chronic depressed person, I’ve tried every medicine in the book looking for something that might help. You need to do the same. Try some OT and see if it helps. Try PT and a Speech therapist. Any kind of doctor or therapy that might possibly work, do it. I’d even try acupuncture and consulting with a pharmacist of Chinese medicines (their meds were around much longer than ours. And they work.) Take him to swim with the dolphins. Buy him a puppy.
I know that as a caring mom you would as would I, try anything to help our kids be as normal as possible. We have that, and many opinions, in common.
