I'm going back to work in 3 weeks time when my little one will be 7 months old (please no judgement... obviously if I could afford to take longer on maternity leave I would).
I will be doing 3 full days a week to start with then 4, with one day off. He will be going to either my mum's, my dad's or nursery when I'm at work.
My problem is that he has in the last couple of weeks reached the stage where he knows when I leave him, and is suffering separation anxiety. I've left him a couple of times with grandparents for short periods while I go to appointments and he just won't settle. So me going back to work is coming at just the wrong time.
Has anyone got any tips to ease the transition? We are going to keep doing short sessions where he is left but I was wondering if there is anything else we can try. He has spent time with his grandparents so knows them.
Also, has anyone been through the same? How long did it take your little one to get used to being left?
