It's a phase, there will be many more! Just try to get through it the best you can.
You should probably have more baby and daddy time with you out of the house or at least out of the room. It's the only way the little one will learn that daddy CAN take care as well as mommy!

I have a clingy 15 month old too. Do you spend a lot of time with your baby? Are you a stay-at-home Mom and your baby only sees Daddy at night or on weekends? If so, there's the problem. Try going out and running errands when Daddy is around so Daddy and your baby can have some one on one time or take your baby to Grandma and Grandpa's for an afternoon so your baby can get away from Mommy and Daddy for awhile. Yes, your baby may scream for a few moments, due to separation anxiety, but it does make it easier in the long run.
As far as the sleeping....keep your baby's room cool and dark. Try a gloworm or an Ocean Wonders aquarium to lul your baby to sleep. I hear that soothing classical music works wonders too. Try to stick to a schedule. My baby goes to bed between 7:00 - 8:00. Once you get in a repeat pattern of this, your baby will naturally get tired around that time.

My youngest daughter (15 months) is like that... She is "my extention" as my husband calls her... It's separation anxiety and he trust you and knows that you will be there for him. So in a way it's compliment, although I know you cannot do ANYTHING alone... give him time... When I really need to run out alone..my husband will distract her by playing with her or running around... if she doesn't see me leave she won't look for me right away (she's usually crying looking for me by the time I get back...but I am never gone long)... try that... Other than that... get used to that it will pass (eventually) :)

Get used to it. It was the same way with my twin boys.

You spoiled him and made him a momma's boy. Your problem.
