I want to describe a baby attaches to his mother a lot. But I dont know which word is right word. Thank you for your detailed answer.

Both idioms ''to cling to'' and ''to be attached to'' can be used either literally or figuratively: 1) ''cling to'' --> when used literally, it means ''to hold on to someone or something tightly.'' E.g.: ''The little girl clung to her dad's legs and cried as he tried to leave for work.'' E.g.: ''I clung to the side of the rock and prayed that a search party would find me.'' --> when used in a figurative manner, it describes the act of remaining devoted to something (often a belief or opinon) or thoughtful of someone's memory. E.g.: ''In this ever-changing world, you can't just stubbornly cling to your old beliefs.'' E.g.: ''He can't be bothered to cling to the memory of his unfaithful wife.'' 2) ''be attached to'' --> when used literally, it means ''to be connected to someone or something.'' E.g.: ''Please, be sure to attach yourself to your luggage at the airport.'' E.g.: ''As she was fussing with my sweater I asked her to attach that small button to it.'' --> when used figuratively, it means to involve oneself with another person or group - often in an overbearing way. E.g.: ''I hope my little cousins don't try to come with us—they're always attaching themselves to me, and it's so annoying.'' --> In a figurative way, it can also be used when you want to state that you are fond of someone or something. E.g.: ''My dad is really attached to his old-fashioned ideas.'' E.g.: ''She seems to be really attached to her new boyfriend.''

'be attached' doesn't sound quite right. Get attached is more common. 'Clinging' means being to be too attached to someone. It can be either physical or emotional, and usually is a bit of both. The word has definite negative connotations. It goes with the idea of being 'needy' and can describe both children (usually to their parents) and older people, but typically teenagers. Getting attached to someone just means forming a relationship with them. If that's not what you want, you might say 'don't get attached to me'.

Hey Kinson, could you provide a little more of the context, please?
