When I google 後追いとは I get an "Answer:" text-box above the search results with this quote highlighted:
後追いとは、ハイハイやつかまり立ちができるようになり行動範囲の広がった赤ちゃんが、保護者のかたが視界から消えたとき、後を追いかける行動を指します。 後追いが始まると、赤ちゃんはどこにでもついてこようとし、障害物があっても後追いをしてくるため目が離せなくなります。

This seems to be the go-to word to describe separation anxiety-caused clinginess in babies/toddlers, I hear it used like this alot. Sure, in the literal sense, yu are specifically talking about the baby "chasing after" the parent, but this isn't how it's usually phrased like in English. I think this probably ought to be a separate sense.
