I will be going bak to work after New Year. My boy Oscar will be 4 months then. I am not sure how is he going to cope with this change. He is so attached to me. What can I do to help him to get use to this new arrangements?:\?

Im sure people who have done it will have some better advice im just going off what i have read
leaving you first lo for the first time is awful, but it does become easier.
as the others have said, take them to your childcare people first..
as it is your own family, he is already familiar with them which is a bonus for you. ask them if you can start with leaving him with them for an hour at a time, then make it a bit longer, every few days. if he doesnt settle, you are available for him, whereas when you are back at work you wont be.
more than likely, you will BOTH be fine!

either try the tommee tippee free flow cup (the spouts usually fold over), or like how they cup feed in hospital like a small medicine pot, jut put it to his mouth, and let him "lap" like a cat. they will both be long winded compared to b/f, but if he will feed.....!
get someone to do it while you are around, but so he cant hear /see you
