My DS is nearly 15 months old and has just started daycare three days a week because I've had to go back to work. Up until now he's always been at home with me and is a happy, easygoing child.

He's had three days at daycare now and is not coping very well. He cries when I drop him off and continues on and off all day. Yesterday when I picked him up he was crying and judging by how wet his little face was, he'd been crying for some time.
At home he is still having two naps which total about 3 and a half to four hours but at daycare is only sleeping for 35 -45 mins each time. Since he started he has been sooo tired all the time and is quite whingy. I feel so awful! We don't have anyone in the family who is available to look after him during the day and we can't afford for me to stay off work for any longer. I just feel sick thinking about him being there, missing his mummy's attention and not getting the sleep he needs.

My question is, has anyone else been in the same position and did it get better? How long did it take?

I just feel like I'm doing wrong by him...
