It's just a stage he is in. For some reason he can't yet explain and y'all can't yet figure out he is in true need of the closeness. Please do pick him up most if not every time he reaches for you. I did with mine and it did not "spoil" them.

As I look back, what it did was show them that in a cruel and even abusive world that I was one person that they absolutely could trust completely and rely on. They could come to me and I would always be there for them, and I was and still am--from a sane distance.

Personally, I am of the christian belief, I believe we feel "vibes" from people and even environments, that ghosts meaning angels and that demons are as real as the noses on our faces. I therefore knew that it was possible that "something" was messing with my innocent, little ones so for this reason, too I always went to them. I was a homemaker and could, so I did and with no regret whatsoever.

His behavior sounds perfectly normal for a baby of his age. To me it sounds like separation anxiety which is a healthy developmental stage. The best thing you can do is hold and comfort him as much as possible. It's a phase and it will pass.

Yes, if he's just one, it's no big deal for him to want to be carried and held. He's still just a baby and the more time spent cuddling him, the better off he's going to be later.
