Separation Anxiety
My 6month old nephew is extremely clingy to his mother. She cant leave him with his father or anyone else even for 5 minutes. He wont stop crying unless he is in her lap. Today he cried for her so much that he vomited. How do we treat this issue since she is to start work soon and the baby will be very upset without her
