Give your child time.I believe he will get over this especially when his other sibling comes.A boy child usually is more attached to the mother at the initial stage though your son's case seems to be hyper.

Please allow this child to be a child. His behavior is totally normal.

It's obvious you are not happy with the situation and you are unconsciously releasing negative vibes towards him.

The more he feels negative energy from you, the more he will run away from you.
Please leave him alone.

Tie him to your waist and be carrying him around..

Your baby might be going through separation anxiety, please take it easy with him

has d father touched him sexually ? find out

Can you please allow him grow? Why beat him to suppress him?

This usually happens when a baby is held too much by a particular person. They become too attached to that person.
Babies should often be put down(in their playpen) to play on their own, so that they can grow with a sense of independence.

Since your wife is pregnant, I think the time is right to put your baby in a daycare center to mingle with other kids his age, and when it's time to go pick him up, you should be the one to do it, otherwise, he might never outgrow that behaviour (of being too attached to his mum).
He might cry (expectedly) in the first few days/weeks, but he'll be fine. He'll get used to it eventually.
Your wife needs a break from him too.

Your child is perfectly OK and clinging to his mum is very normal

Boys always attach themselves to their mum and feels in secured seeing any male around their mum

Then daughter's do the exact same thing to their father

Once your wife puts to bed, he will start withdrawing because attention has shifted to new born

Why do you think mother's calls their son, my husband as pet name

Buy a live chicken and show it to him, let him know you get it personally for him and no one else. Tell him you are using it to say thank you for coming to you as your first son and welcome to your family.
Kill it and give him the big lap and thank me later.

It's a normal behavior, male children are more endeared towards their mother especially in this early stage. He's only being a child and beating him will only make him withdraw from you more.

Try a different approach, love him.

A first son?
Its as expected.They are almost always like that.
With time he'l change especially when the new baby takes over the mothers laps.

It is called separation anxiety, my daughter does this too... she won’t even let my mother-in-law carry her except for my husband and I... so it’s perfectly normal plus the new baby his mom’s having is another reason... he would out-grow it eventually...
