My son is going 4 months and I am going back to work on Monday. When I start work, I will be leaving my son with my mum at her place. Thus, these few days I have been bringing him there hoping to get him to be use to the place. He is not unfamiliar with the place cos occasionally we will go there for dinner and anyone in the family can carry him. My mum has been seeing him frequently ever since he is born. However, these few days when he is there, he seems to know that I am going to leave him thus he will cry and cry, refused to be carried by anyone except me. When my mum is carrying him, he will cry looking for me. Once he sees me, he will stop crying. It breaks my heart to see him crying so badly. Anything I can do to make him settle down better at my mum's place?

Not sure if it would help, but maybe you can try leaving some familiar things with him as comfort. perhaps like a teddy bear he sleeps with, or a clean tshirt of yours to use as his blankie. always say 'goodbye, see you later' & give him a kiss when you leave. after a while, he should understand that you always come back and start to be less anxious when you leave
