DD has a crying fit when I leave her with my mom or my DH (those are the only people I've ever left her with). She starts daycare in five weeks because I have to return to work. I am really worried about her being at daycare and if she'll cry the whole time I'm gone.
I'm thinking of starting her a week earlier than I return to work which, the week of Thanksgiving (a 3 day week). I was thinking of leaving her for an hour or two the three days so she doesn't get the shock of the first day being 8 or 9 hours.
Thoughts or suggestions?
Re: I need some reassurance/suggestions please!
I think that sounds like a great idea. We started DS in daycare on a Monday and I went back to work on a Thursday. It was more for me than for him. This was nice because the first day wasn't a first full day for both of us. We showed up late to daycare and I picked up early...then he stayed a little longer each day.
I took the 3 days to do a few things I really wanted to do that were non-baby (paint my kitchen a new color, relax & watch tv, go shopping for some new work clothes)
