Hey everyone, thanks for your tips! Today was MUCH better (I was surprised because she was pretty all over the place over the weekend with one thing and another). I passed her to the carer, gave her the dummy and said "Bye sweetie, I love you I'll be back to pick you up this afternoon". And quickly left. They were stuffing her with raisin toast as I went out the door and maybe there was a little squeak, but not proper crying and wailing like last week. My boss was there maybe five minutes after I left (she drove into the carpark as I drove away) and said that DD was absolutely fine by the time she got there. It was such a relief, I had a much better day at work because I didn't feel so terrible about her being upset in the morning.
Gigi, I know what you are saying, and I was thinking the same thing but in our case I think she was just working herself up the longer I stayed, because she knew I would leave. After I went she was just able to get on with her day. This morning there was so little upset that I think its kinder to her for me to just leave quickly.
Thanks again everyone, feeling much better! Hopefully it will continue to improve.
