What can I do to help my baby addapt easier to nursery

Question

this monday we started the kindergarten and besides a lot of cries she refuse to eat. at home we never let her cry to much. she's 11 months now.

there, every datime when she cryes longer she throw up. this happends two, three times a day.

at home everything is ok. she eats normal and doesn't throw up at all.

I'm thinking at a lot of things.

I'm trying to contact her doctor, but no answer.

maybie it's just because she cryes a lot more than before, or she may have somevirus (yesterday she had a little fever), but why at home everything is ok?

I started gradually with 3 hours first coupple of days and yesterday she stayed for 6 hours.

I dont know what to do. and the worst is that I have to go back to work on monday. I feel guilty and depressed.

please if you have ideeas or if you experienced something like this share with me. thank you.

Unfortunately some babies are more difficult in this way and in addition at this age she is probably also cutting teeth to which will make her more irritable than normal.  I have seen babies in my daughter's daycare class also react like this- just cry all day, but eventually they get used to it and start to relax and play.  I would be prepared to have 1 or two weeks of this and I know you don't want to hear that, but sometimes that is what it takes.  If your daycare is anything like mine, they bend over backwards to try and soothe your child and will include her in all of their activities.  She will have no need to feel alone but she may still be upset, missing you and her familiar surroundings.  If the daycare will allow it, can you send with her some blanket or toy that she loves from home?

If she's throwing up I am surprise they did not send her home.  So if she somehow gagged or just threw up from crying then she is probably not sick.
