By the seventh month, the mother is still the center of the world for many babies. He may even protest separation from his mother as of this month. If the mother is working, separation sessions with crying will begin in the morning. Here, our advice to mothers is to have a nice chat with their babies before leaving, to tell them that they will return after work, and to come back at that time every day, if possible. When babies see a routine and their parents come back in a routine, their anxiety will decrease. Remember, your baby is like a sponge, not just what you say and do; They can also absorb what you’re feeling and the worry in your eyes. Therefore, if you appear in the same anxiety and sadness when you leave, this will make your baby feel even more worried and sad. The more calm, loving and orderly you leave, the more your baby will meet this situation with calmness over time.
Separation syndrome is a syndrome that you and your child will experience at different times throughout life, and its effect on your child primarily depends on you. When your child starts school, socializes with friends, goes on their first trip, etc. If you want him to feel good and socialize with those around him, first of all, you need to get rid of your worries. These are important times to free your baby from worries and sow the seeds of being a self-confident person.
You shouldn’t feel guilty when you need to be separated from your baby. Yes, I wish we could all spend these special times with our babies, but most of us also have to work. Do not forget that it is important for you to work and earn money in order to create a benefit for him. But more importantly, always remember this: The important thing is not only to spend time with your baby, but also to spend quality time.
