9 wks old and anxiety separation ???
Isnt this to early for separation anxiety ? I just recently started back to work..out of necessity not because I want to. Anyway, my mother watches my son who is 9 wks, he is loved on all day, fed when he is suppose to be and overal very well taken care of. The first day he was perfect, slept when he was suppose to and was a happy camper. The second day he was fussy and refuses to sleep for my mom or my husband. He literally shakes his head back and forth to keep himself awake. I get home he wants only to be held by me and is so tired he doesnt want to play or "talk" he settles against my shoulder and goes right to sleep. I put him in his bed after holding him for a little while and he sleeps for 6 hrs. Could he be missing me during the day ?? He is also starting to teeth so I know he probably isnt feeling his best during the day.

He totally misses you and this is very normal for moms that go back to work. Your baby knows your voice, your scent, your everything and nobody can take the place of "mommy". I would suggest sleeping with one of his blankets or toys and than have that with him during the day and it might help him feel better because your scent will be with him. I would also record yourself singing and let your mom or husband play that too. Its really a tough situation and I feel for you. Your son will get more used to your mother and this should diminish. Just try to spend as much time with him as possible when you get home from work. Buy yourself a good baby sling and wear him whenever possible. This should help too and have your mom wear him in the sling during the day.

it is honestly quite possible... you might try recording yourself singing.. or just talking to him.. just the sound of your voice might be enough to comfort him while your away.. when you think of it.. 9 months of you being his whole world and 9 weeks of you around all the time..
