Hello everyone! So my daughter is just over 8 months old and I am going back to work part time when she will be just over 9 months. My mum will look after her and we have been practising having mum over and me leaving for a few hours.
Now here are the issues.....
She's exclusively breastfed, we have tried and tried to give her a bottle but she won't have any of it. She's eating solids quite well so not too worried about her not having milk when I'm at work.
She only naps on me (also feeds to sleep)
But she will fall asleep in the pushchair so that's what my mum will try.
I think what I'm asking is, is there anything else I can do to prepare? I've left them for 2 hours most the time and she just cries pretty much the whole time! Even when me and mum are in the house she will cry if I leave the room to go make a cup of tea or something! I just cant bare the thought of her crying for 8 hours a day when I'm back at work!
