I'm going to work full time next week. My LO nearly 10 months old has had 2 settling in days at nursery. First went very well, on second he was ok at first but then on my return he was crying his eyes out. The nursery staff said he had been crying for 10 mins. His face was red and blotchy and he was hysterical. The nursery staff member was holding him trying to console him with no luck.
I'm still BF him as he refuses bottles but we've been cutting it down during the day.
He's got another settling in session booked in before I go back to work.
Feel tearful, for the first week he'll be spending nearly 5 hrs at nursery, from thereafter he'll be there for 8hrs mon-fri. I wish I didn't have to work but I can't afford to be a sahm or work part time.
Please tell me it'll get better and my LO will be ok 
I keep thinking him crying like that will cause him trauma and damage him in some way. He never cries like that at home but that's because I'm always with him I get that. The nursery is good, my DD went there previously although she was older when she started. A few friends children go there and all recommend it highly.
