Today was the first day I left my baby at home alone. He cried and cried and would not stop. I felt about the size of a penny and was distraught for the rest of the day (4 hrs) that I was gone. I sat outside the door and listened to him cry for 15 minutes before I finally left. When I came home he was asleep in his crate (i put a blanket, a tshirt that I had worn the day before and his kong in the crate) and I left classical music playing. He is 5 months old and will start crying if I even leave the room that he is in. I always come back in and give him a piece of cheese once he's quiet but is there anything else that I can do to make him feel better? Not sure if I can take this.....and its only been a day. How much longer will this last? I will not take him out of the crate if he is barking or crying but I feel like my heart is breaking.
Please help me if you can.
