Hi Baby Banda, I am so attached to my baby. He just turned one year. I want to go back to school and so we’ve decided he shall have a babysitter. The problem is he’s so used to me and doesn’t like staying with anyone else he cries alot. What should i do?

Babies do get attached to their primary caregiver and have what we call as ‘Separation Anxiety’ when separated from them. The best way is when you get the nanny, start by spending time with both of them like allow the nanny to feed him while in the same room, then slowly start giving them short periods together, as your baby learns to trust another person, he will adjust. You can also find opportunities of interacting with other babies and people like play groups, church crèche’ etc., to expose your baby to other people
