[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd stop sending her to daycare on the chance something bad there is happening to her. Has she always been that clingy/needy or is that something she started doing recently? [/quote]

OP here. I'm 100% sure it's not daycare. She has the same teachers my older 2 did and she loves them. She's very excited to go.

My middle child and her have the same personalities. Both were the easiest babies on Earth (oldest was harder). When she was a newborn, she didn't cry even once most days. She was just well fed and happy. Both got hard around 15m, but my youngest takes it to an extreme. She's just stubborn. She also won't talk even though I've heard her say words. I'm trying not to take it personally but she calls me "you". She says "You!- Up!" for pick me up. I talk a lot and I'll tell her I'm going to put her down and finish dinner "You! No!" and she will slap my face or chest and shake her head. She says Daddy and she says her siblings' names too. It's kind of a joke at this point that she won't say mommy/mama. I have heard her say Mama when she gets hurt and needs me, but it's so rare, less than 10x in her life for sure.

To answer someone else's question, yes she does sit and play with me. She loves her Little People, baby dolls and pretending to cook. [/quote]
