I don't feel like my baby likes me?? (posted in other groups!)?
My son is 1 year old and very outgoing! ALWAYS on the go, especially lately. But, it sometimes feels like he would go with ANYONE with boobs. I still breastfeed and that's the only time he seems to fully NEED me! He only says dada, even though I'M the one who's taking care of him all day (my husband's a pilot, gone for 2-3wks at a time!!!). When my sister or mom come over it's like he doesn't really care if I'm there or not! And when I leave if my husband's home he doesn't protest at all..... I REALLY wanted my baby to be cuddly and loving, but he's not, at least not yet, if he ever will be? He did have a couple weeks a few weeks back, when he'd come up to me and lay his head on me! But, not lately??? He does listen when I ask him to do things, most of the time, so I know he can communicate. But, shouldn't he be saying mama at least by now??? I feel sad, I didn't want a clingy baby, but one that knows I'm his mama!!! Is anyone else in the same boat, or been there before??? Thanks!!

Nice, sweet mama lady... get used to it. You walk on water, you're MAMA, you are necessary 100% of the time, and NATURALLY, you're expected to reliably appear as needed 100% of the time. But aunties are funnier, daddy is more exciting, grandma knows the BEST games to play (like putting olives on baby's fingers). Sorry. It bites. And yet we love it so.

Well, they will always need mama. So you won't ever have to worry about that. And they don't say "mama" first because "m" is a hard letter to say. My son said ten words, "anenome" was one of them, before he said "mama"! Tell me I wasn't mad! :)
I do remember at that age though, that my son did seem to get tired of me and was happy to see new people, like my husband. But as he got older, he became much more of a love bug and still is at now, at 4.

It's probably that he's just really interested in new people. He sees you all the time, so you get "boring" (for lack of a better word, sorry) but when someone else comes over it's very exciting for him!!
