   What age does separation anxiety usually stop?
   In your experience when would your baby go into their room alone without you being there?

   right now my 19 month old freaks out if i leave the room at any time not just for sleep. he wont play in his playroom alone for any amount of time. If i leave the room even for only a second he is on my heels.
   I never have space to myself i cant shower without him standing gaurd at the bathroom door or even use the bathroom at that. if he is in his highchair and i leave his sight he cries.
   So you can see why this makes bedtime hard cause i cant just tell him im there he wants me to actually be in his sight so he falls asleep on the couch with me at night which isn’t actually a problem but lately we haven’t been able to move him to his bed without him waking up either right then or in the middle of the night.
   I Cannot let him cry himself to sleep either cause EVery single time i end up cleaning up his puke. He pukes every time we try the cry it out method and it sucks

   so now his separation anxiety has him waking in the night and insisting that we let him into bed with us or that we go into the living room and sit with him till he falls asleep on the couch.

   uggh i just want to be able to tell him that i want him to sleep in his bed and for him to be able to communicate his feelings and tell me yes or no or im scared or something ya know. i don’t know when i will be able to reason with him and talk back and forth with him in a conversation so i can really tell him don’t worry.

   At 19 months, he might not be able to talk much, but he certainly understands quite well. You can start talking about his feelings. He might be able to indicate what scares him or what might soothe him.

   Reassure him that you are not far, that you will be sleeping in your bed, that you will come if he cries at night… he needs a lot of reassurance. This will slowly build into confidence.

   Well I have an idea. Sit with him until he falls asleep in his bed. Assure him mommy is right here and she isn’t leaving until he falls asleep. Meanwhile get him a night light and leave your bedroom door open. Every time he comes to find you in the middle of the night – take him back and do it again. He should get comfortable being in his own bed.

   I didn’t like being without my mom much either until I was 7 or 8. I wasn’t that bad that I wouldn’t fall asleep on my own, but I’m just saying it all depends on the child.
