DD is just over a year old and over the past couple of weeks has been doing settling-in sessions at nursery in advance of my maternity leave ending. We started off with daily hour-long sessions for four days, then a two-hour session on the Friday, Monday and Tuesday, and tomorrow (Wednesday) we're skipping a day before a half-day session on Thursday and Friday. Full-time is supposed to start next Monday as I'm back at work.
DD screams from start to finish, and is distraught and exhausted when I pick her up. The nursery manager has agreed that DD is proving difficult to settle. I don't know what to do. I can't bear the thought of having her cry for hours - one and two-hour sessions have been bad enough, but the half-day sessions are this Thursday and Friday.
The nursery manager wants to push through but I don't think this is working and I'm upset and worried. Please help!
