HELP - RETURNING TO WORK
Help. I Max is 7 months and I am going back to work in 5 weeks and dreading it. I am only doing 2.5 days per week and leaving Max with family but......... he is the CLINGIEST baby! He literally screams the place down if I leave him for 2 seconds. If I leave him with OH he is the same. He is constantly craning hi sneck to the last place he saw me and if he hears me speak in another room he screams even harder.
It is a massive problem. He cried so much when I left him with OH last night while I put 5 year old to bed, he made himself sick!
I just don't know what todo. During the day I often leave the room and return to console him (I thought this might help him get used to it) but nothing is working!
As far as I know he cries continually when I'm gone. I popped out for 40 minutes the other night and left him with OH and he screamed so hard my OH said it was the worst 40 mins of his life!
I need advice please because as things are there is no way either nanny is going to cope.
Love Helen X
