I am attempting to go do aerobics 1 night a week. DH looks after DD (4mths) while I'm away, which is about 2 hours. I have only done this twice but both times has resulted in DD crying for all of the time I'm away. As soon as I return she stops crying. Do you have any suggestions for helping this situation. Last night DH even tried bathing her (which he always does) but that relieve the situation like we thought it would.

My thought at this stage is that each night I will leave the house for a short period of time, leaving DH with DD and build up the length of time I'm away.
I also think a bit has to do with the fact whenever she is upset I will settle her, which I think I should let DH do this instead of me so she gets use to DH settling her. It's always just so much easier if I settle her.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
