Hi Ladies,
I'm hoping for some words of encouragement or some happy endings.
I'm going back to work 3 days a week this Wednesday after being a SAHM for 2.5 years. I have chosen a great daycare centre for my two little ones that I'm really happy with. My problem is my baby girl. She has never been in care before and well to be honest she's a bit of a Princess and a drama queen. I've been going every afternoon for an hour or so for the last week to get her used to it and she's been fine. DS loves it already!! Today we went this morning with the plan to get her to have her morning sleep there.
It was a nightmare!!!
After 2 hours of her wailing and screaming and arching her back I gave up and we wnt home defeated. She has been very unsettled all day with just 2 fitful sleeps of 30 mins each. She normally does 2-3 hours in the am and another hour in the pm.
The carers tried all their tricks, I tried singing, rocking, sshhing everything and nothing worked. She just would not give in. She hasn't wanted her bottles all day either, she's just wanted her dummy and to be held.
I don't know what to do.
Do I can the job and tell them I'm not coming? Do I persevere and hope she settles eventually?
I'm going to go again tomorrow morning and try again.
I'm so stressed and upset and confused about this. I feel sick with worry that she'll be so distressed and not cope at all.
Has anyone a happy ending? Did your baby hate it to begin with and then settle?
