[quote=Anonymous]I left both of my children at day care when they were 16 weeks each.  It was really awful and hard to do with baby #1, but was much easier with baby #2.  Honestly, I just don't think I could have provided the necessary socialization and other activities for my little one staying at home - yeah, I guess I could have with a lot of work and thinking - but I have been very happy with day care.  Each kid is different and each family is different - but for me, I've enjoyed seeing how my kids have grown, how they react to other people and learn to do things on their own without me, how they do activities that I would never think to do with them.  At times, day care has pushed them to milestones earlier than I would have wanted - in some cases (like moving to one nap or getting rid of the bottle), I have not been happy with it.  But in other cases (like potty training), I really appreciated their expert advice and consistency at school.  Good luck.  If you decide to do day care, then think about phasing it in over a week or so -- sort of for your baby, but especially for you.  It's a tough first week - give yourself a break and just know that it's tough but gets easier.   [/quote]
