At a loss

Talk to mom about how child is doing with the baby at home. If he is feeling left out and sibling rivalry type behaviours are starting at home it will be escalated by making him "go away" to daycare. It may be that it becomes an every day thing or a not at all thing. I have done some maternity leaves where the child came 5 mornings so they got the benefits of "school", and mom spent the morning with baby bath, cleaning house, napping and errands so that when child went home baby went down for a nap and mommy and child had private cuddle time.

Thanks playfelt, he seems to be the most upset in the morning, he cries at every transition - going outside, coming inside, sitting at the table for lunch. After nap, he is perfectly fine.

I know this started before the baby was born, but... he miserable in the am and fine after nap, right? Is he exhausted? Is the baby keeping him up too. I don't know your schedule, but I would be trying to get him to nap in the am too. Just a thought.

Thanks but he doesn't arrive till 9 am and he is almost 3 so if I put him down when he gets here he wont nap in the afternoon. I have however had him lay on his cot to calm down. I talked to Dad last night and he doesnt understand why he is crying at drop off, I asked if he was staying up late or not sleeping well but he said he has been going to bed at 8:30 and getting up at 7. So I still have no ideas other than he is just needing more attention.
