Baby unsettled at nursery

Hi everyone, my 8 month old baby has started nursery and it's been two weeks and every time I pick her up they inform me she's quite unsettled. She's only there for 3-4 hours. Does it get better? How long did it take your LO's to settle in?

No advise but this is scaring me bless your heart. I’m dreading my baby attending nursery as he’s super attached to me

It does get better but it does take a while. My LO goes to nursery four times a week and it took her about a month to get settled. They will get there it just takes time 💜

@Becca My LO is all happy and smiley whilst we're at the door of the nursery but as soon as they carry her she starts crying and when I pick her up she's also crying. Not sure if I've made the right decision 😭

Crying when you pick her up is actually just showing she has a good attachment to you. It's her showing relief that you have come back. It takes time for them to get used to it and at 8 months separation anxiety is high. My daughter started at 11.5 months and it took her a good month or so to settle. She still attends the same one now at 2.5 and loves it :)
