Research shows that if you play peek-a-boo with your baby, he/she will actually begin to understand that when mommy leaves, she'll eventually come back. . . . interesting I think! :)
Your situation is difficult. I wish I knew how old your child was. I was very clingy with my parents too. When I was old enough to understand, my dad just sat me down and explained that it had to be that way. When I was younger, he would drop me off, and let the babysitter take charge. He said that way it showed me that it was ok and safe with the babysitter.
It's hard to give advice without knowing the child's age.

Your doctor is right...that is what stranger anxiety is, only wanting to be around mommy and daddy and nobody else. Just keep taking him until he gets used to being around other people or stay at home until he reaches adulthood.

Be patient. Maybe a good book on baby and childcare.has some ideas. And maybe until he feels more secure a babysitter could visit with him at home while you are there. And friends and family could visit your hiouse for a while.

mommy and daddy spoil the child too much is right on the nose. you need to take him out and have him play with you in sight with other kids and have him learn to have fun with out you there. go make some more kids and teach him to be more independant and don't go running to him everytime he crys or else he will learn to be very dependant on you. be there for him when needed but also let him learn to play well with others and share

have people come to your house, let him get use to them and make a bond with them in a familiar surrounding, then hopefully when you do take him to there place he will no them on a better level and trust them, anxiety is a hard thing to deal with, the more you push him,the more he will resist, let him take control for a while and learn to trust people without being thrown into an unfamilar place

Well there's not much to do except let him grow out of it, otherwise you'll just have to force him to stay with someone you trust for awhile until he can realize that this 'stranger' won't hurt him. Just invite a friend over and have them play with your child for that time.

that says how spoil your baby is. u don't need to ask a doctor how to solve this problem, as a parent you should know better how to teach "LIVING" to a baby and if you are not capable of doing that maybe u shouldn't have had a baby till u know better. I hope u don't take this as an insult because that wasn't my intention. I just know that u know how to solve this and don't let his crying scare u. Good luck.
