Thanks. She does have 2 molars coming in right now so is not her usual self. Hopefully it's just that. As acornsfalling said if it were another child I would just redirect them etc., but with it being my own child it seems worse as she is too young to understand why I am coming and going with other kids.

I was wondering if it is jealousy but I don't think it is as she could care less if the other kids come sit on my lap when she is playing nearby. It is only when I am leaving or doing diaper changes on the other side of the gate and she can't touch me. She seems to love having the other kids come, she shrieks with excitement when they arrive in the morning and engages them all day. It doesn't help that when I am doing the nap runs she is also tired as she is about to go down for nap too. But I prefer to put her down last as I try to snuggle with her upstairs for 10-15min first so she gets some one-on-one time.

I will wear her on my back again tomorrow and hope that come Monday she is back to her usual care-free self.
