I'm sure (or rather hoping) this is very common, but I'm having a bit of a nightmare settling my dd (nearly 10 months) in at nursery. We've built it up slowly, starting with visits with me there, then leaving her for an hour, then a bit longer, then a couple of mornings - all was fine. Then I took her in for an afternoon session on Friday and she apparently cried inconsolably for the full two hours I left her . Tried again this morning and she was fine for a bit and then it was the same story . Can anyone reassure me that this sort of thing happens and she'll get over it without any lasting damage?? The staff have suggested I start leaving her little and often so she gets used to the idea that I come back. Sounds okay but I'm due back at work in a week's time. The staff seem to be dealing with it okay by just cuddling her while she's upset and calling me, but obviously I can't keep on going to get her when she's upset for ever. Any tips on ways to approach this?
