How To Deal With Separation Anxiety

Eileen Hayes (Editor in Chief - Your Family magazine) gives expert video advice on: How can I deal with separation anxiety?

How can I deal with separation anxiety?

First of all, you need to be sympathetic to your baby because it's a fairly inevitable phase, and is worse in some babies than others. It's no good just expecting your baby to snap out of it. Games like peek-a-boo, where you show your baby that you can disappear and then come back, can sometimes help. Just very gradual little slow separations. If you're in another room, calling to your baby so that they know you're still there. But it is that very gradual sympathetic process, never forcing your baby to just do without you.
