Myy 11 month old dd started nursery (3 mornings a week) last week. Although the nursery had no settling in policy, we stayed with her most of the first day, a bit less the next day etc. She cries when we leave (which we expected) but she is also sobbing when we pick her up, those big gulpy sobs which mean she's been crying for ages. the staff there seem to think we're being ridiculous for not just dropping her off straight away and this morning basically told me to just go at 9.15 which I did and she was sobbing her little heart out and reaching out to me.
I can't take much more of this, I spend most of my time crying as well, and just feel that she's not ready and we should take her out. We agreed on a 2 week trial period (I never really wanted her to go in the first place but dp persuaded me) - is this long enough? I feel like I can't take another day of it, especially when she is such a happy sociable baby usually.
Does anyone else have any experiences like this? Should I leave it a bit longer or take her out now?
Thank you
