honestly i really dont know what to suggest but keep doing what your doing. i would try not leaving him in one thing too long and also dont take him out right away if he starts crying.. just make sure hes fed,changed,burped,and played with when you put him down. if he starts crying.then you know you have done all he needs.. sometimes you just need to let them cry for a bit..it will be hard.. but it will be for the best in the long run.

It's called separation anxiety, and all kids get it to some degree, sometime between 7 and 14 mos.
If you are still in the room, have a conversation while you are tidying, whatever.
If you are in the bathroom, sing to him or talk to him.
Actually, the more you leave and come back, the more re-inforcement he'll get. This is a great time to start playing peek-a-boo.
On days your husband has off, make sure you leave for a while [ even to water the flowers or get the mail ].

It is good for them to cry as long as you continue checking on them to make sure they are safe. It develops their voice. Leaving the room but still talking or singin helped my kids and after a while they didn't cry so much when I left. All it does is lets him know that you are coming back. It might also help him learn to get around on his own a bit faster as he will be more determined to come and get you. You're doing a great job and keep it up.

Actually if you DO pick him up and hold him alot, especially when he's normally more fussy, it will help him be calmer during those times.
You won't spoil him by holding him, maybe try a baby carrier? A back pack, a sling, a front pouch... it leaves your hands free and keeps baby "up" which my baby is totally in love with "UP" right now.
My advice is def. to try a baby carrier.

Sometimes you've just got to let them cry,as long as they are fed,watered clean,warm & not hurting or ill.Leave him safe & just walk away...Not for long 5-10 minutes..How ever long it takes you to feel more in control.Unfottunately they don't come wih instructions & it isn't easy if you've got a clinger...it's not easy fullstop.I think as long as he learns that he isn't going to get his own ay by crying,but that you are not far away,he'll drop the habit.But I'm sure it will take time....Goodluck
