Nursery help!

Unfortunately this is very normal especially in babies, its a new environment, new routine with new people. It can have an impact on their emotions, sleep and eating. I used to work in nursery and its all completely normal. My LO is starting tomorrow and shes been so emotional during her settles, as a mum its horrible but as a professional I know its completely normal. Just remember he won't always be like this it'll just take time for him to get used to it all!! Xx

It does get better. The separation anxiety is totally normal at first and has a massive impact on sleep. It can be really tough for you dealing with a tired cranky baby, I often find it takes a day for him to reset into his routine after a couple of days in childcare. 3 months in now though and it’s much better than it was

I work in a nursery and have worked in the baby room, and have seen babies like this first hand , it’s hard on the child and the parents but honestly the staff are so used to it , as said before it’s a huge transition for your baby , you could try leaving something at nursery that he associates with you , a blanket with your perfume on , or something similar. It might help comfort him , it will get better x

My little boy has started. He's 7 months. He's absolutely fine when I leave (probably because he's so little) but he won't sleep for them as we co sleep mostly and he will only have 30/40 for them where as at home he will have 2 hours so when I get him he's absolutely shattered. Red eyed and looks awful.
I race to finish work as soon as I can so I can get him to nap well at home but he often falls asleep in the car so we have 30 min on the drive lol

It’s perfectly normal for this to happen it’s a big adaptation and transition and so it’s a lot going on for them and you too. My LO started just after she turned 1 and struggled however nursery said they were happy for her to bring her comfort item in with her and that helped massively. Maybe try a comfort item that your LO associates you with or something with your scent on. I promise it does get better as it goes.
