Umm..no matter how much she wants you, let the father tend to her for about 2 hrs a day, go in another room, or go shopping! She'll problay cry alot so its best to go out! Try that as much as possiable for her to get used of her father and then when you have vistiors let them hold her till shes had enough! If your tending to her all day you are her "safe zone" try to break it now before it gets out of hand and you become frustrated with her!

She has probably spent the last 11 months being held by you and now that is all she wants. Its going to be a hard habit to break because you have supported it thus far! You are going to have to let her seek comfort from someone else or herself by not picking her up everytime she wants it. It will be hard for both of you! She will not understand and cry and you will feel like crap because of it. But if it is not done now, it will be pure hell trying to do it later! Wish you luck.

She has to be exposed to more people. Try playgroups where the parents are involved. Leave her with her grandparents for a couple hours and have Dad pick her up. I know it's awful to hear her cry, but the only way she will get used to people is to just do it. You know she will be in safe hands.

My daughter did the same thing. Don't worry this is just a stage and it will pass just be patient and leave when you have to even if she cries. Eventually she will realize that she will be fine when you leave and she will get used to it even though it will break your heart the first few times. Good luck and hang in there.

Look in your local area for play groups for infants and toddlers. My 9 month old is going thru the same thing here. It will all work out in the end.
