I've returned to work part-time (Monday-Wednesday 10am-2pm) and have been back a week or so. I've been really lucky as my mum has offered to have Ethan so don't have the bother of finding a childminder we get on with and that Ethan is left with someone familiar.
The first few mornings were fine. Then he started to recognise the signs I was going to work - e.g my mum coming down, my uniform etc. When I leave for work now, Ethan goes into complete meltdown! Hysterically crying for anything up to an hour, throwing himself on the floor, not letting my mum hold him etc. I feel guilty leaving my baby so upset but also leaving my mum to try and calm him down.
He's a complete mummies boy at the moment and really clingy so I'm finding it hard!
Has anyone got any suggestions as to how I can make it easier for him? Or is it just something he'll get used to?
