Separation anxiety

I’m the same exact way. My toddler is 25 months and I am very still like that. I got so much anxiety going to the hospital to deliver my 2. She stayed with grandma. I made sure she sent pics of her, she seemed very content in the photos. But I still came home the day after I gave birth. I just felt so bad leaving her:( hope it gets better with time. Since I’m a stay at home mom I’m with her all day and night so it’s hard to leave her for some time.

The only way to do it, is to do it. I adore my babies, and I miss them all when I am away from them. However, time apart is so important. Especially, if it’s time with ones spouse. My husband and I try to go on 1-2 dates every month, and while I miss them after two hours, it’s important that they learn to be away from me too. It’s healthy for them to be comfortable with friends and family and trust me enough to know that I will come back. It’ll get better as you do it. ❤️

Totally normal. However, it’s only going to get better if you do actually leave your child. Not for long periods are first! Like run to grab coffee while they stay with even your husband. Prove to yourself that they’ll be ok and prove to your child that you’ll always come back. That was the advice my OB gave to me!

I left my son at 6 months with the daycare to go back to work. It was hard, He lasted 3 days! Ha 😃 I haven’t worked since..He’s 2 now and my husband said wait til he starts school. I’m nervous about that too!

My daughter is only 3 months old and I already told my husband we're not leaving with her with babysitter within the first year for life.

I never want to be away from my daughter for long. I'm always worried that she wont behave for someone, or that shell cry for me too much, but my husband and I have gone out a few times for movies over the past year and she always does so well. The first time or two when she was really little she cried as we walked away, but she could be consoled and distracted. Now that shes over a year I find myself wanting me time, but being away from family and home, I dont have anywhere to go. And if I'm home I have trouble getting my husband to realize that he could give me "time off" but he works typically between 10 and 14 hours m-f if they arent doing field training (army). So by the time he makes it home, hes burned out too.

I've only been away from mine like maybe 3 times. It actually hurts a little. My little girl has started crying if someone else is holding her and she can see me or if I walk out of the room. I'm trying to get better about it, like not taking her back immediately (failing most of the time) because I feel like I'm making her anxiety worse. But its so hard. She was inside of me for so long!

Sounds unhealthy. I suggest therapy before it gets even worse.
