Feeling guilty and awful
I dropped my little one off at nursery today it’s his second day and he was fine yesterday. But today he was crying and he had to be peeled off me. I feel awful , he goes from 7:30-6pm because I work and I wish I had it a diff way ! Does it get better will he settle ?

It does get better but it also yo-yos. But the minute you're out of eyesight he'll be distracted and settled.
My LO by the time I got to the front reception of the nursery was fine (they had a screen to see in the room on exit) which was reassuring. X
Yeah those first few weeks are awful but it settles. Mine will cry if we’re there but as soon as we’re out of sight (and there’s breakfast 😅) he settles x
It gets better I promise! But also, without sugar coating, just like with everything there are phases. My son was really upset and miserable at the beginning as he was very attached to me. He would also cry at pick up. Then he stopped crying at pick up and was happy. Then the next phase was that he cried at drop off but was fine after I left. Then eventually he stopped crying but was sad. Then eventually stopped being sad and now he runs off without even saying bye! We recently had another baby and so now he has gone back to being a bit sad again at drop off as he wants to stay home with her but I know it will get better again. I know how hard it is though at the time…I felt so much guilt and used to cry as well outside the nursery! IT WILL GET BETTER 🙏🏽
