Dealing with separation anxiety
The first day of child care calls for many adjustments for both you and your baby.
Help your baby get used to being in another person’s care. Ask someone you know and trust to stay with her a few times before the big day.
Visit the child care provider several times with your baby before returning to work so your little one can get used to her new surroundings.
Try not to make a fuss when you’re dropping your baby off.
