Separation Anxiety?

Valery

Hey, girls...are any of your little ones beginning to experience separation anxiety? Every day this week, my 8-month old has cried when I pass her off to the caregiver at her daycare 🙁 When we get home on weeknights, it's Meltdown Central if I put her down, even for a moment - it makes doing simple things like washing dishes, prepping dinner, or even taking a pee near impossible 🤦‍♀️ On weekends, things seem better, which leads me to believe that she simply misses me during the workday. I wish I could explain it to her: Mommy will always be there for her, Mommy will always come back for her. Her daddy does his best to help, but she really gets upset when he takes her away from me, even to just leave the room. In the years to come, I'm sure those roles will reverse where she'll be all about Daddy and that Mommy is old news, haha. In the meantime, how do you guys cope with it with your baby or your other children? So far, I've begun baby-wearing again, which helps a bit, but we all know it's a temporary fix.
