My little one has recently started nursery (last week). She is very unhappy at drop off and pickup but otherwise the nursery say she is happy there.
Ever since she started going, at home she has become incredibly clingy to me (and just me!). She will scream bloody murder every time I leave the room. Won't let dad feed her or rock her to sleep. She wants me, me, me! It's true that in the past it was mostly me that fed her and put her to sleep but it wasn't unheard of for dad to do it as well with no issues.
This is a huge problem because I have gone back to work (I am the main earner and work FT while hubby works PT). As I have just returned I can still afford to step away for a few mins and help calm her down. But soon that won't be the case as I actually need to work/be in meetings etc.
It breaks my heart to see her so upset. And I can understand why she is this way, it's many new things at once when all she knew until now was mummy with small dash of everything else. What can I do to make it easier for her? I can't give up work or reduce my hours. Any advice on how to make the transition easier?
