When your 10-month-old, who’s always been content when you leave him with Grandma, all of the sudden screams and clings as you walk out, this means:

He’s figured out how to manipulate you into doing what he wants you to do
Grandma must be mistreating him when you’re gone
He’s made a huge cognitive leap and is more attached and aware of your absence

You can expect your baby to be able to regularly sleep through the night by the age of:

When your baby cries, it’s best to:

Respond immediately because this provides a sense of security and predictability
