My son will be just shy of 9 months old when he goes to childminder full time. He's a fairly easy kid and is fab around other people and other kids. Me and him he can be grumpy but I think I see it as worse than it is because it's just the two of us. He can be a bugger for napping though morning nap has got better and he'll go down for that easily. He has a snooze in the afternoon and they can be a battle at times! I do cuddle him a bit as that makes life easier though am working on putting him down after he's fallen asleep.
Just tell me my cm won't turn round and say "my goodness your child is a nightmare whinge bag who is horrible when he needs a nap! I don't think I can look after him anymore!" This is what I keep imagining!! He'll be my cm's only full timer. I know he'll have to adapt to her routine with school runs and whatnot so I'm sure he'll be fine. I've sat here and realised it's all well and good me having certain things in place for his snooze but then these things may not be an option when he goes to her!
I spend too much time overthinking stuff and she's so lovely I'm sure it'll be great: I just have so so much anxiety about leaving him. I've not really spent any time away from him and as much as I'm looking forward to being at work and having a break from feeling like chief pot and bottle washer, I can't shake this anxiety!
Any advice or just words of comfort for me 😀
