Calling her a baby probably is part of the problem...an almost 1 1/2 year old is not a baby anymore...she is a toddler and needs to start seeing herself as individual, not an extension of you. You should encourage her to play with toys and when she cries for you to pick her up you can sit next to her and keep encouraging her to play. If she won't stop crying, walk away for just a minute and then come back and play with her again. Don't expect her to sit and play by herself for any stretch of time, this will come as she gets older, right now she needs to learn how to play with you as her entertainment and reassurance. Be patient but persistent...do not automatically pick her up, instead just sit beside her with her some fun educational toys and eventually she will learn to play and not depend on you so much. Good luck!

Maybe she's attatched to you. Some children spends too much time with their mother that they get attatched to her. The same thing happens to my aunt. My 1 1/2 years old cousin keeps on tagging along with her mom and nobody else. On the other hand, the baby might be hungry or need a change of diapers. Crying can have a variety of meaning because remember, babies can't talk yet.

i'm a nanny to slightly woman that is merely about 17 months previous. All day the day previous to this all she did replaced into cry and be truly clingy, she had a stuffy nostril yet she replaced into crying frequently from her teething. that's reliable you'll the wellbeing care professional's, with any success they could provide you some perception. yet per chance something scared her or she had a foul dream.

Babies only need attention and love. My baby used to cry whenever I do any household job, keeping her busy with toys will help. Also see that she is not hungry or wet. Also if possible let her spend some time with other children. Cause however love we give to them is little in front of the time spent by them with their little friends.

She is telling you she needs attention. Don't ignore her! She needs to feel secure and her crying is telling you she's not feeling that way.
Try to be patient with her. If she stops crying, when you are around, you have satisfied her need. If she doesn't something else may be wrong.
If her diaper is clean and dry, if she's not hungry, and she's not tired, she just needs to know that you are there for her.
If she continues to cry, she may have an allergy to new foods, if she's getting them, have a physical problem, or she may be ill. If it continues, take her to a doctor.

my 16 month old never cries, unless he is tired or hungry and sometimes when he gets constipated. Try not picking your daughter up all the time and let her play a little by herself. Maybe you should take her to your doctor and discuss this with him, something could be wrong.

Are you sure it's for mama? Maybe it's a tummy ache, or an ear ache. Is she hungry? Wet or poopy diaper?

Babies cry, it's just a fact of life. She does not have the vocabulary to say what she wants, so she cries.

you've trained her to know that when she cries, she gets attenton from you. try ignoring it for a few months, and eventually it will get the idea and stop crying.
