I had to jump on the band wagon on this one. When my daughter was 4 months old, I had to start leaving her with daycare.There was not if ands or buts, and if she cried, there was nothing I could do....I had to get a job to support the two of us. I later learned this was called separation anxiety, but as she got use the idea that Mommy was coming back and her routine was the same each week, she didn't cry. I know this will break your heart as it did mine 22 years ago. But your daughter is little and if you need to go out to provide a secure future for your family, I am very proud of you. Wait until she is almost 23 and tells you she TOTALLY understands and wants to be just like you!

thanks! that helped so much! It already breaks my heart just thinking about it. But I need to do this and it will be better off in the long run when she starts school. I just dont want to make her sad

Can you remember when you were 3 months old? No you can't, you are doing a very good thing sweetie. When she gets older then, you can worry. But please, don't feel like you're being a bad mother. I felt that way leaving my daughter. It tore me up, but I knew I had to do this to make us a brighter future. She will be proud of you later on just wait and see!

She may cry at first, but once she adjusts and develops a rapport with her caregiver she will settle in. She may cry crocodile tears the first time you leave, but once she realizes it isn't going to get her anywhere she will stop.
It's a great feeling to have someone who loves you that much isn't it?
