Who's LO's experiencing this? How do you help them cope?

Yes we have it a little bit here. When we drop him off in the nursery on Sundays and Wednesdays at church, he will cry until I"m out of site so I just drop him off and leave and then he's fine.

YES really really bad! She screams and runs for me every time I drop her off at daycare and she has been going there since she was a newborn. *sigh* I can't leave her anywhere these days. This past Sunday I took her to the church nursery like I do EVERY Sunday and she screamed and threw a full fledge tantrum. Well she was fine after I left, but it just pulls on my heart strings..ya know. I keep telling my self this too shall pass! ha ha

She has MAJOR separation anxiety. Its ok if I leave her with hubby or family (she LOVES her dad more than anyone, at least at the moment) but anywhere else, she is crawling all over me panicking.

I haven't been leaving her anywhere but I haven't been able to go to the gym at all either, so it majorly sucks. I don't know what I'll do about it, I don't know if I should just wait it out or just leave her there, even if she's crying and miserable.

Avery will get upset if she sees me walk away from her, but if she's occupied with something else, she's fine.

Luca gets upset when I leave him at daycare ( he goes once a week) or at the gym childcare but he's fine after a couple of minutes. His separation anxiety is lessening a lot it was terrible around 9 months when I couldn't walk out of the room away from him without him freaking out.

I don't know whether or not to be happy or offended, but she will literally run from me ,smiling and laughing when I arrive at the daycare. She loves that place. No crying. Nothing.

Like I said, I don't know whether I should be happy or offended

Ditto for Juliana. I think it's more that she doesn't like to be ignored. When I take her to the gym daycare once per week and when the nanny arrives every weekday, she's fine. However, when I come downstairs for a snack, I better stay and play a while because if I try to just pop in for a second, all hell breaks loose. I've learned not to check on her at the daycare because if she see's me, my workout is over. If I'm the only one around to play with her, she'll want to come with me in the bathroom and sometimes even sit on my lap UNLESS she happens to be preoccupied with some toy and then she won't notice.

Emmett always cries when I leave him in daycare (and we go Mon - Fri), but apparently he stops in under 30 seconds after I leave. I have peeked in on my after I left and he was just sitting there playing happily.

He also cries about 50% of the time when I leave for work (which is also everyday) even though he is staying with his dad. But again, it's only till my car is out of sight and then he is like, fabulous for my DH all the time (not fair).

I used to let it eat me up, but now I know he is fine and so I just put on a brave smile and head out.

Arie loves her dad so when I leave for work once a week, she happily waves bye to me lol

Harper is happy with Steve, MIL, our play group friends and myself. If you're outside of that bubble she will likely shoot you the death stare or bury her face in my chest. I'm hoping it's a phase, because she was SUCH a cheerful and outgoing behavior up until the last 2-3 weeks.

Ours regressed... I was hoping she'd continue being sociable, but she's giving everyone "The Look" now.
