We've got 3 settling in sessions booked for early July, he then has 2 weeks of half days before he starts full time and I return to work in August. I try to keep a brave face on when people ask me about it but honestly I dread it... I think that I can just about hand him over without going into meltdown as I obviously want him to feel reassured but I worry that I will cry before getting out of the nursery! Another thing that is playing on my mind is that he is fed to sleep, so I tend to go for walks when it's his nap time or push in around on the balcony a bit (we're in a flat). I'm changing over to formula but has so far only swapped the lunch feed but I'm stressing about it now as I feel I ought to get him on to formula for the other feeds and teach him to fall asleep on his own but due to backache and other issues I haven't had the energy to do it. I don't know what to do. Any advice please?

Nursery will manage his naps - mine never napped without being fed to sleep or in buggy but always napped perfectly at nursery. And yes you will probably cry at the first drop offs (could your partner do them?) I certainly did, and I remember passing a lovely mum at the door who patted my arm and said ‘it gets easier’. It really does!

@Ellboo thank you that's reassuring to hearSmile No my partner starts work early in the mornings so I'll have to do it...

Hi friends...
I just moved in to Shepard's Bush from India... I'm looking for nursery which costs around 500 💷 a month for 2 yr old son... Flexible for any timing... He is kind lonely in house... Going to nursery will make things better.. pls help me find a nursery with low cost, as far as I enquired they charge around 1300 to 1500 a month... I can't afford that much
