It is not about daycare being good or bad - it is about optimal times in a child's development for introducing that care.  18 to 30 is the worst possible time and even daycare centers will tell you that.  Seriously, take two minutes and google it.

- a WOHM whose baby has been in daycare since he was five months old.  Like PP, I clearly am in favor of daycare starting before 18 months but not after.  And especially not starting between 18 and 30 months.  Sure the child will survive but why make him/her suffer and possibly develop lifelong abandonment and insecurity issues unless there is absolutely no other choice?

You need to give us more than "just google it." I have read and collected a lot of studies on daycare impacts and daycare in general and I don't remember seeing a legitimate study that concluded that there were "lifelong abandonment and insecurity issues" associated with starting daycare at 18-30 months. Please provide actual evidence-based support for your assertion, not just "google it."[/quote]
