Kids feel separation anxiety when the person they are attached to the most is not in the vicinity. They feel insecure and unsafe. If you are a new parent, here are some suggestions on how to letr your kid get used to you without constantly by their side.

Let your child get accustomed with other people, especially those who will be minding him or her when you are gone. This can be a relative or a babysitter. Let the baby spend a few times with this person even if you are there. Allow the person to take care of the baby and picking the baby up. You can also see how the person is with your child, and you can leave instructions as well.

Whether you are leaving your child at home, or leaving your child in another place, bring something along that your child is attached to such as certain toys, or a blanket. Bring food and formula and other stuff that your child is used to having. This will give a sense of security and the familiar to your child.

Try not to stay away from your baby too long. If the reason why you are going to leave is because you are returning to work soon, make sure that you do this in stages. First, try to be gone for thirty minutes, then an hour, then two, and so on and so forth. So it is important that your child get used to this set-up at first.
