Hey Mama,It’s gonna be tough for both of you. You’ll need to be mentally prepared to expected crying and clinging. My son had to be pried off me for a week and got better after that. Really need to harden your heart and let go. You will also have to be prepared for her to fall sick more often, parental leave is going to be very handy. Hopefully she settles down in a month!
