Similar to "CRYING ALL THE TIME"

Wow - I read that post and it really sounds a lot like my situation - but I can't figure out if my kid's problem is that he is just sleepy or if it's separation anxiety. As you probably know - we had to find a new daycare due to our old babysitter quitting and going back to work. Rob was with the old babysitter from the time he was 8 weeks until just 2 weeks ago. He started last week (Tuesday) at the new daycare center. Of course he screamed and cried when I dropped him off -- and so did I!!!! I pick him up that evening and he starts crying again -- Come to find out - he was actually sick and had a 102-103 temp that evening. I was able to stay home with Rob all week - and then Friday he went to my moms. By Saturday he was back to his happy energy-filled self! This week is I guess his first official week in the daycare because he only went once last week. This week, every single day when I pick him up - as soon as he sees me...he drops his toy and starts crawling to me and commences his crying fit. They tell me that he doesn't cry the entire day at daycare (but they do have a hard time getting him to go to sleep). Prior to the daycare switch - as soon as we would get home, Rob would go down and take a 45-60 min nap. During that time, I would straighten up downstairs and get dinner going. He would wake up his happy sellf. This week - he has been switched to a completely different baby!!!! As soon as we walk in the door he is ok...but when i would try to put him down for his nap - he would do nothing but scream hysterically. If i go back and get him he is ok - but as long as I hold him. I can't put him down on the floor to play, otherwise he shrieks...then crawls to me and pulls up on my legs and stands there clutching my legs for dear life while he screams and screams. Even if I try and sit down with him and play with him - he screams. It's driving me bananas. Last night I just sat with him and cried because I get so frustrated that nothing I can do pleases him. Some have told me that this is just separation anxiety due to his daycare switch and being nervous. But why on earth doesn't he act that way during the day!! Only when he comes home and as soon as he see's mommy's face he freaks out!

I'm so sorry. Since it's really just his first full week, I'd give it time. He probably just wants to make sure you're not going anywhere!
It's amazing how different they act at daycare. C has taken to throwing herself on the floor, butt in the air (like how she sleeps) and screaming when she's upset about something at home. I mentioned it at daycare yesterday and they looked at me with blank stares. Apparently she has never done this at daycare. They also suggested I bring milk with her breakfast. I said, "Oh, she never drinks her milk with her meals when I give it to her. She just plays with it." Apparently at daycare she polishes off her fully sippy cup of milk when they give it to her with lunch and snack. Go figure.
Hang in there, Momma.
