Separation anxiety?

Talk to her and explain, they understand more that we can imagine. It helps when he goes and we talk about it

I have the same situation(( I try my husband to take my son to nursery and I pick him up) last 2 times they called us to come earlier as he was crying and asking for mummy(( this is sooo heartbreaking, I feel the same what if he thinks that we don’t listen to his feelings, that we betrayed him. But they have nice time there and develop more than if we would stay with them on maternity for couple of years

How long has she been there for? I went back to work when mine was 12 months old and he went to a childminders and struggled soooooo much initially and I hated it. He would cry at drop off and pick up, spends his time a lot of the day crying and being miserable. This was for a couple of months. A year on, he runs in happy as you like, spends his time off talking about his friends, we went on holiday last year and he named his toy cars after his friends and the childminder 😂 so I think he was missing them loads! I’m sad I’m not the one with him all the time, but honestly, I couldn’t do as much as he does there, he’s learning so much every day!

@Carly it’s only been a few weeks in October and then the past few days 🙈 it’s just so heartbreaking as she’s reaching out for me crying her eyes out while I’m leaving, and then I get updates from the nursery and she’s just constantly saying I want to be with mummy, mummy is coming back soon as if she’s trying to reassure herself 😭

We got recommended a book called Owl Babies that is about separation anxiety. It’s a quick bedtime read but seems to be helping. My daughter loves me reading it to her and it also gives me time to sit and explain that I too will leave but always come back.
