Poor baby, as you've mention that mom still nurses her, can you ask her to leave her milk. Also, any blanket or comfort toy helps at times, ask her mom to bring it. Babies are very sensorial any smell, taste or something they touch can comfort them. Sometimes their favorite food helps them too (ex.cherrios or what ever she likes at home).
I also recommend to moms that there is not doubt they have a Conecction (mom/baby); if mom leaves sad she's definitely passing this sadness and anxiety to the baby. Some baby's feel this more than others.
I've also tried with success running tap water through the babies hands and it helped to distract and come down. Observe an see what she enjoys most in your home, so you can create a comfort corner for her. (I know the inconvenience of all this, but, we also know it won't last too long).
Also, I've asked pictures of mom or dad and it also helped.
In cases like this, I first target to keep happy the baby and everyone else is happy, once the baby is used to the environment (including the group and i); then we start little by little with group routines.
Good luck, all my feelings go to you, I know how hard it is when we have unhappy babies.
