I have an 8 month old (never doing that again!) dcg who was supposed to be a "easy baby". She is .... challenging me... and I'd like to get some advice on how to handle this. She is my first, I just started up. Her mom suddenly decided to go back to work full time, so she's mon-fri 7:30-5:30.

All day long, on and off, she goes from happy to suddenly screaming/yelling REALLY loud (like a growl almost) and tensing her whole body. I know she's a baby, she's a wee one to be away from her mommy, and we're still in transition (she doesn't cry when mommy or leaves or anything, and nap time is going pretty well, just some reminders to lay down and sleep).... but I don't know what to do with it!

I say her name and "shhhhhh"... which is working now, but sometimes she's growling a whole afternoon,a nd honestly, it just grates on my nerves! It drives me nuts!

What would you do???!
