Has anybody been through this or have any advice to offer?
My baby is no longer settled at nursery. She has been there for months, but now she is coming up to a year she's starting to become hysterical at leaving me, clings to me, and when i get her home from nursery if i so much as move to the other side of the room she shrieks and wails and tries to crawl up my legs, she wakes up 3-4 times a night crying out too. She's in nursery four days a week but this is really upsetting me now as i don't feel like i'm doing the best for her, this goes against my mothering instinct and i'm sure that doesn't help although i do do make the effort to be confident when saying goodbye. I would love to have a relative to leave her with but unfortunatly like many of us mums that's just not the case. I don't know whether to interrupt my degree as there is no part time option because i'm worried this is going to make her more insecure as she doesn't seem to be getting better, but worse and i don't want this to harm our relationship. Am i being overly concerned? Do they ever get passed this? I also notice when she's at home with me more during holidays her development seems to come on more quickly than when she's at nursery -she doesn't attempt to communicate at nursery for example. I've still got 7 months until my degree is finished. I just thought other mums or nursery nurses might be able to empathise with the situation and offer advice.
