[quote=Anonymous]I'm pregnant with my second and trying to figure out our best childcare options. Our older child is in a great daycare center, and we anticipate putting the new baby there as well. But I'm stuck on whether to do so right away after my maternity leave (4 months) or get a short-term nanny for 2-3 months first before starting the baby in daycare. We put our older child in daycare right at 4 months, and in hindsight it didn't really start to click until he could sit up and play a bit more. Also, 4 months with the new baby will be January of next year, so right in the middle of cold and flu season. On the other hand, I have no idea what goes into finding a short-term nanny, and how the quality of care will be (whereas that's a known factor with daycare). We need to tell our current daycare about our plans soon. Any advice on which option to pick? [/quote]
