You can't.
It is normal for a baby to be so attached to it's mother. In fact, most babies don't even recognize their father as an individual until they are a year old.
What exactly is your concern here? Feeling guilt that the baby is not as attached to the father or someone else? Feeling bad because the baby gets so upset when you leave for what?
Whatever the case, you will just have to ride it out. On the positive, your baby is normal :) I'd be afraid of some sort of mental disability if your baby was not so attached to you.
And to all you judgemental types giving her greif STFU. She has said nothing to indicate her intentions are negative and yet you are giving her greif based on nothing more than your short-sighted assumptions.

I'm all for teaching children how to be independent and all of that, but at six months you are your childs entire world. Be that for your child, this is the only time that it'll be like that. when your child is two they won't want to listen to you and will already try to see how many things that they can do on their own.
This is the only time you and your child have to bond like this, don't deny your child that; and don't deny yourself that. It really is important for both of you.
Pushing your child away at such an early age will cause many problems now and in the future. I urge you not do that.
(You should add more information here, because I can only go by what you wrote here, I understand that there may be many different reasons why you asked this question, so a bit more information is needed to answer it correctly).

Your six month old doesn't even know he's not still part of you yet! Trust me, embrace this time. They're always going to be attached to you, but when a six month old wants you, he just wants to snuggle and love you. When a four year old wants you, it's a whole other story.

He's still very young, but if you mean that you can't put him down at all, without him screaming...try putting him down with a toy, and allowing him to cry for a minute or two. Talk to him and let him see you, but don't RUSH over to pick him up. Don't leave him to cry for half an hour of course, but just a couple of minutes at a time while you reassure him that you're not going anywhere will eventually calm him down enough to let you sit down while he plays for a little bit.

I understand. Sometimes, you just need time to go to the bathroom by yourself:)
You can start by thinking, does my baby need me as much as I need him/her......I've found that my kids do not need me as much as I NEED THEM. They are 7 and 9 and are in the ages where they like to stay over with grandparents. I miss them terribly.
Is there a dad in the picture or grandparent that can give you a little bit of Mom time?
Having a baby does not mean that you are not still a person of your own and does not mean that you do not LOVE your child.
give yourself some time and you'll grow together:)
Enjoy that baby.

Get a baby sitter. I have a full time job so my baby stays with my sister and he is not that attached to me. I think your baby needs a little time with other people it will do her good.

It's in her nature to be attached to her mommy, but if it's interfering with other children or she won't let daddy or family members hold her, you should try leaving her in their care every once in a while.

at 6 months your baby is going through that stage enjoy each as it comes that is what you became devoted to you when you became MOMMY:) Seriously though at 6 months that baby is learning alot and just wants the security of its parents.

don't hold him or her all the time. and if you go out and you want time alone see if their grandparents would like to have them for an hour or so. let her get use of other people right away (the ones you trust of course) so you won't have this problem good luck.
