My DH works a roster where he is away for two weeks then back for two weeks. DD is beginning to notice his absence and it is very unsettling for her as he is very hands-on when he's home. Her sleep (day and night) goes out the window and she is easily upset during the day when she is normally so happy. I wonder if anyone has any ideas to help her at these times? Naturally, at 6m I can't explain the situation to her. I've tried giving her a t-shirt he's worn which didn't help much. When he talks to her on the phone it confuses her and she looks around for him, so I don't think a voice recording would help either. Any ideas would be appreciated...
