[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How do you balance the reassurances that all the daily updates provide (notifications for every activity and diaper change) vs. how distracting they also are to you during the day? On one hand the updates and pictures are nice, but I'm finding myself constantly waiting for them and the longer it goes between them the more I think "no picture means he's probably crying" or "another diaper change so soon? he must be inconsolable and they're troubleshooting" [/quote]
It's been 15 years for us, but this would have made me crazy.  We got a report (eating, sleeping, diaper, other) and any photos at the end of the day. Our baby evolved to have a different eating and sleeping schedule during the week as they did at home on the weekends, so you might see the same.  It worked out pretty well.

Once your DH is back at work and the baby has gone full day for about a week, you really should ask them to hold the updates and photos until the end of the day.  Constant updates sounds like a recipe to create an anxious and distracted parent.  Does the daycare think this is good for you?  I assure you, it isn't. [/quote]
