Nursery/Childcare at 8 months

My little babe has been for 2 settling sessions. She’s 6.5 months and she didn’t even care we’d gone! However we both cried leaving her! I’ve put her in so I can earn money for us to do nice things. That’s how I’m getting through it 😢 X

My daughter has her settling in sessions this week & then starts properly from Monday, when I'm back at work. She'll 7.5months & likewise, I feel so guilty! I'm really quite poorly with my anxieties atm... As much as I'm looking forward to going back to work & I'd like to. I just feel like crying leaving my daughter at the nursery.

I'm hoping that my anxiety symptons get better soon, just its no fun feeling constantly sick/like I need the toilet😔

You did the right thing in putting your baby in nursery a bit earlier. I'd have done the same but, my daughter will be going to the nursery where my husband works & I don't drive.

My baby attended nursery from 6 1/2 months he loves it. He's 8 months now. I did 2 stay and play sesaions which really helped me feel better about him attending. then he had some settling in sessions.

My baby started nursery at 5 months old, doing 3.5 days a week and he does so well. It’s easier for me as I work at the same nursery but the anxiety still hit me like a lot.

My little boy is 8 months and he’s been having 2 half settling in days a week this week just gone and next week. I go back to work the week after 3 days a week.

His first day at nursery he was a little off as you’d expect, then his second he loved it and had a great time.

I think it’s going to be harder for me as mum at it will be for him. I think he’ll thrive there and learn so much, it’s me that will struggle with it! X
