So I work from home, partly because I thought it would be more time for me with DD who is now 14 months. I have a nanny here while I am working, as my schedule is still basically 9-5, with me required to be available for meetings, calls, etc. during normal business hours.
And it's been working out great. I can go give DD a kiss, join her for lunch, hold her, etc. And she has been fine with the set up too.
However, ever since we moved to our new house 2 weeks ago she completely has a meltdown when I have to go back into my home office to work. She will cling on to my legs and just scream when I have to hand her back to the nanny.
I almost feel like it would be less psychologically damaging for her to get dropped off somewhere in the morning and just have to leave me once, vs. getting torn away several times a day! However, that's not what I want to do and would love any advice on how to ease her anxiety.
Hopefully, her anxiety is just related to us moving but even if it is, I would still love any feedback in regards to helping her through it.
