Please, let this phase end NOW!
Experts say separation anxiety can be at its worst when babies are between 12 and 18 months old. Well, Elias is about 22 months old, and I guess his separation anxiety phase was a little delayed, because it's in full swing now. So much so that when my husband and I are in the same room and one of us leaves, Elias wails out for the one that has left. Even though the other parent is still there.
It's getting old, people.
But what to do? You walk away, the wail sometimes turns into a scream. MOMMY! Or, "Daddy, daddy, daddy!" And when you're in a public place, it can be a little embarrassing. WHEN WILL IT END?

He'll get over it... sometimes the best thing to do is ignore him... always remember, YOU are the adult. Parents seem to foget who's in charge.

I would second that opinion - they will get over it. Just stay consistent, and in charge, and you'll see that this too shall soon pass!
