Extra clingy

Is anyone else’s LO going though an extreme clingy phase?? Last 2 days I can’t even go to the toilet without telling her or asking if she wants to come because if she sees I’m gone she gets HYSTERICAL 😩. She’s fine and well, sleeping and eating well but I do think back molars are coming in…
