Be consistent: Separation anxiety is a normal phase of infant/child development. It may seem severe even if it's pretty normal, esp if baby is loud &intense &/or you are highly sensitive to crying.Be reassuring & go! the child needs to learn to trust you & nanny, trust you'll come back & know that he'll be well taken care of while you are away. Give your baby that experience, & the sep anxiety will soon lessen.
