Separation anxiety

Question

Any advise para maovercome ni baby ang separation anxiety? Mom if three and sa youngest ko lang ako nahirapan. Exclusively breastfeeding mom for 11 months. Now, hes 14months old. Naging problem ko nung magwork ako last May yung di nya pagdede sa feeding bottle either breastpumped or formula milk. Previously, nainom na sya sa 360 cup. Pero sa day lang sya nainom dun kasi at night, sakin sya nadede.However, will be assigned on immersion training in Mindanao next week and we are residing in Luzon. Kahapon lang din nagstart ang bagong tagaalaga nya na stay-in na ngayon (yung last month ay stay out). Nitry namin kagabi na di sya matulog with me kaso, nagligalig sya overnight. 😢Ngayon lang muli ako babalik sa corporate world mula ng malay off ako during start of pandemic.  Tried home based jobs para stay at home ako kaso, I failed and hindi makakuha ng right job for me online.#advicepls

Hay, mama, I feel you talaga, yan ang pinakamahirap part ng pagbalik sa work, especially pag exclusively breastfed pa lang ang baby. A few of us din went through this at honestly, it takes time para sa kanila mag-adjust, pero kayang-kaya nila; ang 14 months nyo ay still very young pa, so the separation anxiety is normal at hindi permanent. Since gumagana na sya sa 360 cup during day, maybe try increasing the bottle exposure gradually before you leave, let the new caregiver bottle-feed him more while you're home pa, kaya hindi sudden lang ang pagbabago when you're actually away. I'd also suggest checking with your pedia kung may recommendations sila para sa anxiety management and nutrition while you're transitioning, since alam namin pareho na ang weaning from breastfeeding during a stressful time is real challenging. Rooting for you, mama, alam kong karamihan sa atin gumagawa ng hardest choices para sa pamilya natin, at nakaka-anxious din talaga first time away.
