MIL is telling me and my partner that our baby can't always expect to be with us

My baby is the same. Wants to be with the parents if left for any length of time cries to come back to one of us!!!!
these babies are still so young! of course they want to be around their parents, and it’s not unhealthy for them to be dependant and to feel safest with you. i swear some of the older generation expect babies to be so independent from such a young age.
It is COMPLETELY normal! In fact, if she didn’t then that would be concerning. It shows she has an attachment with you both, which is what babies need with their primary caregivers, to feel safe and secure. This will result in a happy and emotionally intelligent child. Plenty of research to back this up. Keep doing what you’re doing and go with your gut. Mama always knows best x
They don’t even realise they’re a separate person from you until they’re 6-9 months old x
Our LG gets like this if she's not seen someone in a while or if me or her dad aren't right there. It's normal as they don't realise they're a separate person yet. She's also like it if the person is overstimulating her (my MIL did it yesterday videocalling her sisters to see our LG) & screams until either me or my husband are holding her
Silly cow
No it’s absolutely normal for your baby to be with you!😅that’s what creates a healthy bond and relationship, hope you’re okay!
