Seeking Advice for 18 Week Daughter Who Still Struggles with Babysitters

My baby girl is such a "mama's girl" (early strangeritis), but it's making it hard for me to work (and I need to work to help support our family). I work from home tutoring students with learning disabilities from 3 to 8 PM Mondays through Thursdays and my babysitters come in and watch her in the home. She did great with the babysitters from 8 weeks until 12 weeks at which point she started to be 'fussy' for at least a third of the time they are here. I did some preliminary sleep training (e.g., napping only in the crib, putting her down...

Getting 6 Month Old to Attach to a Lovey

I have a 6 month old little girl that has a pretty severe case of seperation anxiety, and I'd like to help her to become attached to a lovey, to comfort her when I can't be with her. Any suggestions for how to get her to attach to something? She is very attached to me, and I just want her to have something she can love when I'm taking a shower, etc. Daddy doesn't cut it...he tries but she cries a lot with him. I've tried giving her stuffed animals, soft little blankets, etc. but nothing really seems to comfort her - if anyone has found...

Naps for 6 Week Old

My six week old refuses to nap. She takes maybe a few short cat naps during the day. Like 3 or 4 20 min. naps. I really don't think this is enough sleep for a baby so young. Also she will only nap in her swing. If i lay her in her pack and play or crib she immediately wakes up. I have tried laying her down awake but drowsy and letting her fuss for a bit but she becomes hysterical. It is strange b/c she sleeps good at night in her pack n play. She goes down for the night around 10 or 11 and she only wakes up once around 3 am to eat and then...

8 Month Old Who Constantly Cries

I have an 8 month old little boy. He constantly cries if I don't hold him or if he isn't around me. At the babysitter's house he cries for hours at a time. He usually cries himself to sleep. When I leave the room, he cries. If he is at the babysitters and I show up he starts screaming and crying for me. He will go to his father, but after a while he will cry for me. I started carrying him around the house in a snugli just to do everyday house work, so I don't have to listen to him scream and cry. I don't know how to stop this behavior....
