My Lo is starting infant care next week and I feel a lot of guilt like I am abandoning him. How do I get over my mummy guilt?

It's perfectly normal to feel this way. I remember the first day when I had to put my kid in childcare. She cried so badly and as I left my wailing girl in the arms of the daughter, and left the school, my tears just rolled down and I cried uncontrollably. I tell myself that i have no choice.No matter how hard it is, how guilty I feel, I didn't have a choice then and I have to be strong for my girl. She adjusted within a week and she looked forward to school ever since. It's not easy, leaving our babies in the hands of others but I know you probably don't have help that's why you are making this choice. Try to spend as much time with your baby when she is with you. They grow up very fast and believe it or not, they will turn out fine. Your baby will NEVER blame you for putting him in infantcare so try not to self-blame yourself ok? Hugs mummy....and jiayou!
