From the day I got Cali I but her in her playpen each day and left for an hour so she would get use to it. I gradually worked up to 3 hours and she was fine. I use to just say I have to go to Nana's( I take care of my elderly parents each day) and she would run into her playpen and snuggle up. I really believe you have to get then use to being alone from the beginning as you can never be there 24/7. Once Cali was a year old and could be trusted she has full run of the house when I am gone and usually sits on my dtr's bed looking out the front window waiting for me to come home. |
