Separation anxiety
Show your support
My advice is just keep reassuring her you'll be back soon. Use the same language, "I'll be back", "I'm back" for consistency. If you're leaving her for hours, keep the goodbyes short. And keep your emotions calm, if youre upset she'll think she should be upset too. I found these things helped. Hopefully it won't last much longer. My girl went through some separation anxiety when I first returned to work when she was 13months. But she recently is going through it again. I've read the 18 sleep regression can also include separation anxiety. My girl started crying when dropped her off at daycare again and is hard to settle at night.
Thank you ladies for responding! I completely forgot about the 18 month sleep regression! It makes sense! Here's hoping we will only have to ride this out a bit longer! Side note: hubs is home tomorrow!! Yay!! This mama needs a huge ass margarita or 2!
Mine definitely has. If i even open the door and he thinks im leaving hell cry and follow me. if the door opens and someone else it at the door he’ll run to me or away in case theyre trying to take him haha. (take as in out for the day etc) Hes been sleeping with me as he wont let me leave his sight. been like this for almost 2-3 weeks
I'm sorry to say this, but you might just have to grin and bare it for a while. We had that with my eldest but he was always more attached to me than my husband. Believe it or not, going back to work helped. He knew that tye uniform and specific time I was gone meant that yes, I was leaving but I would be back. Take your time, and try to be patient. At least until your husband gets back. I know it's hard but it will get better
