I'm feeling pretty rough and LO has a chesty cough and under the weather too

He had his first hour 'settling session' today, normally he's been happy on nursery visits but he's totally not himself today :( He lost sight of me at one point and just burst into tears, it was all I could do to not join in the crying!
I also stumbled through all the paperwork as I'm feeling so rubbish :(

Then it got to the bit for another emergency contact and there is literally no-one other than me or DH who could come and get him, it makes me so very very sad :cry:

Hopefully the next sessions will go better but not sure what to do about the massive gaping hole in our lives
 
Hi Hun, didnt want to read and run.. We are in a very similar position as it just me and my OH here. All our family are a good few hours drive away also! Please don't get to upset about today, even on the best of days my DD has trouble settling. If your LO is feeling under the weather it will just make everything feel worse. I always walk past the window when I leave my DD crying and by the time im outside she is fine playing away. In fact most days she full on refuses to come home and we have tantrums about leaving then! Hugs :)
 
Does he have to go to.nursery? Are you working?
 
Hi try not to worry about it it can take them a while but they really do settle its took my son quite a while & i made myself look silly not so long ago and burst out crying when matthew was i felt awful leaving him. I now call once hes been there 30 minutes and hes always settled and eating breakfast by then and playing happily. He now also gets quite upset leaving we have to walk round saying goodbye to everybody.
Also i wouldnt worry about no other emergency contacts we dont have any either and we live around our family
 
Hi Sweets,

I just wanted to say hun, i worked in a nursery for 9 years almost all in the baby room and it can take them a little time to settle BIG HUgs xx If you need more settling sessions than they have offered just ask. I have to say that its not unusual to have no other emergency contact hun than DH.

My LO starts nursery in May, and I am very anxious, seeing it from the other side.

Take care and hope you both feel better soon.

xxxx
 
heya i had the same problem with my son :)... he was upset on all of his settling in sessions but eventually he stopped crying for me, now he is back to stage one maybe its a seperation anxiety again at his age now
 
Sending them to nursery is a bit step and really hard for us. Your lo will settle in-some children take a bit longer than others but they get there in the end.
Iro the emergancy contact-so many people don't have anyone else around so don't feel crappy about it. You may find that as time goes on you get to know other parents at the nursery and eventually they could be called if you weren't available etc.
Big hugs.
 
Does he have to go to.nursery? Are you working?

I dont think thats got anything to do with it.

I think they are perfectly valid questions. If the OP isnt working then she might want to hold off on nursery for a few months.

but she has chose to put her in nursery now so whatever the reason its not really relevant.

Not necessarily. I have chosen to my DS into nursery on a couple of occasions and done all the research up until the settling in session, but have backed out because of various reasons. Just because someone goes as far as a settling session with their child doesn't mean they won't take them out.

The other person was just asking if the OP had to put their child in, as there are other options. Of course if the OP has no choice then that is different.
 
Oh big hugs love!

I'm still in bits about losing my Nana, sometimes I just think, oh if she was here she could do xyz be there for us when... Whatever.

Must be very hard when it comes to things like that, at least we, still have my Dad and dh parents.

I'm sure it'll be fine, lo and you obviously just having an off day.
Xx
 
Ah bless, I sobbed in the bath for an hour when Evan started nursery. It's hard.

Dh and I have no one near by as well. I still gave my parents details and made sure they knew they were 3 hrs away. Straight away nursery said they obviously would care for him until someone arrived even if its out of hours and to not worry about that. The people there are lovely and very caring. Most of the time they treat the children like their own xx
