How do I help separation anxiety during bedtime?

Sunday, June 14th, 2009

Happy Girl asked:

RE: My 7 month old son
breastfed and solid fed (fruits & vegetables)

He used to sleep through the night. For the past 2 weeks he has been waking every 3 hours. Because I’m sleepy, I put him on the breast and he goes back to sleep. But I believe it is separation anxiety during bedtime. How can I get him to sleep through the night again?

Thanks!

How do I deal with anxiety, guilt and sadness returning to work after baby?

Tuesday, February 12th, 2008

VivAquino asked:

I am returning to work in 2 weeks and am feeling extreme anxiety and guilt about leaving my 6-month baby. I haven’t been apart from him for more than 6 hours since he’s been born. Financially our family needs two incomes, and I am obligated to return to work, but am emotionally not ready. Whenever I think of it, I start crying. How can I deal with this?
