Yeah Kaz, I think that he sensed your unease (when you got home and then were told what had happened by your DH) and then got clingy. They are most amazing creatures for picking up on our feelings!

And I don't think that your transition to work and daycare will necessarily be bad. As for night feeding while you're at work, I dunno, just see how you go? I've combined kids and working and breastfeeding now for three years (on and off) and some days are good, some days are bad, some months are good, some months I feel like I'm a walking zombie. You don't really know exactly what it's going to be like until you're actually there doing it. As for leaving him at day care, again he's going to be watching you to see how he should react. Try to be as calm, happy and confident about it as you can. But be flexible too. If he needs you to sit with him and read him a story before you go, don't rush off, but if he is fine playing and you've said your goodbyes, just go.

Wishing you all the very best!
