My daughter is spoiled rotten i cant even leave the room with out her screaming and if anyone else holds her w

Question

Shes 7 months old

Answer 1

She's not spoiled. Something that is spoiled is something that has been left on a shelf to rot....not paid attention to. At 7 mos old she is probably going through a very normal bout of separation anxiety. If you have to leave the room, either take her with you or talk to her while you are gone so she can hear you. Play peek-a-boo with her a lot so she'll learn that even if she can't see you, you're still there and you will come back.

Answer 2

Some of these answers are pretty crude and not even geared to what you were asking. I have three children and I say they are spoiled rotten all the time it's called an expression. It would be different if you were saying that your baby was the devil incarnate. Hold her and comfort her, let her know you will NEVER leave her for too long. When you leave make it known what you have to do or what you have to get. Even at 7 mos. she will start to understand that hey when mommy does what she said she was going to do then she really does come back. You may want to take her to the potty with you and tell her see I just had to potty. Or to the kitchen and tell her see I was just doing the dishes and now I'm all yours. You need to keep your sanity. Sometimes you just have to let them cry, every now and then it's good for them.

I started lightly tapping mine on the hands ad telling them that there was no need for tantrums because I would never be gone from them too long. But YOUR LIFE MUST GO ON.......... Your baby just wants to be a part of it. And that's how it should be.

Answer 3

this is what happens when you let the baby train you instead of the other way around. She has you trained to come running when she screams. You need to take your life back!!!
This may sound cruel, but its really not, make sure your daughter is safe, clean, dry, full, and comfortable, put some of her fave toys around her and leave the room AND LET HER SCREAM.
If the sound of your child crying tugs an your heart string so bad, that you just have to go pick her up, GET OVER IT AND BUY SOME EARPLUGS. After a few days of blood curdling screams, she will learn that you are not her sole method of entertainment, and learn to occupy herself with toys, etc
Try leaving her with a babysitter that cares for other children also a few hours a week (Mommy time!) if there are older children, they will play with and pick her up and she'll eventually enjoy it
I'm assuming this is your first child and you stay with her 24/7
You're the one who spoiled her rotten, and you're gonna have to be the one to unspoil her!
Good luck

Answer 4

My daughter was the same way. Dr. Sears calls them "high need" babies. My son, on the other hand, had no issues at all, and I raised them both the same. Just recognize that you cannot "spoil" a seven month old baby........whether its seperation anxiety (which is common in this age) or something else........she NEEDS you. The link below will really help.

One of the things that worked for me was to put different places for her in different rooms. A bouncy chair in the bathroom, a playstation in the kitchen, etc. That way she could crawl or walk to wherever I was, and still be safe while I was showering, cooking, etc.

Hang in there, it will get better! Zoe started to get a lot more independent at a year, and now at 2 1/2 she'll spend an entire week away at her grandparents. She still wants to crawl in bed with me at night though, lol!

Good luck!!

Answer 5

She's not spoiled rotten.

It's just separation anxiety. She's probably scared that you aren't going to come back. She doesn't yet understand that even though your not in the room with her your still around.

When you put her down, keep on talking to her. Come back every few minutes to show her your still around. As time goes on, you'll be able to make those intervals a lot longer.

It takes time and patience.

Good Luck

Answer 6

i hope you will try to think of your daughter some way other than 'spoiled rotten'. at 7 months, she is still figuring out the world. although it is an irritation to you, she can't help how she feels. it will get better. are you consulting a parenting book to give you ideas on how to handle this issue? good luck.

Answer 7

My daughter did the same thing to me when she was around 7 months. What I did was I took off the shirt that I was wearing at the time and cover her up like if I was going to put her to sleep, that way she would smell me and think I was holding her. Then every 10 minutes I would check up on her.

You should try it and see if it works for you.

Answer 8

That's not spoiled. She's getting to the age where she begins to realize you are not a physical part of her and it scares her. Just have patience, but stand your ground, if there are things you need to do and someone else holds her. Keep showing her the love you have, she will begin to understand it's ok to not always have you with her.

Answer 9

i see it that a child can not be spoiled under the age of 1 year old. They each have needs to be met and by meeting them your daughter will feel secure that she can rely on you to meet all her needs. What she is going through is separation anxiety, time and patience is all it will take to make it through this stage. Good Luck, i know this is a tough phase for the parents to weather.

Answer 10

My little girl did the same thing around that age. She's now 12 months old and is FINALLY starting to be more comfortable with other people holding her. Just be patient. She's experiencing that seperation/stranger anxiety right now.
