[quote=Anonymous]I do think it’s worthy of concern op, I completely understand what you’re saying and am having the same concerns for my toddler (though slightly different due to age) in considering whether we will have him return to daycare. Like others said of course this hasn’t been studied yet but we have studied that a language rich environment is very important to infants, but that’s not solely seeing lips move. In terms of bonding, I’m sure that there would still be much connection through eye contact, touch, meeting needs, etc. I’m personally starting to feel though like what already wasn’t the most ideal setting may become less ideal to the point where it’s worth it for us to use some savings on a nanny as well. And I was a happy daycare mom - dont get me wrong, because generally I don’t think babies/kids need IDEAL all the time and my kid did well and thrived there.

I will share as a mom a couple years into daycare, that one of my biggest concerns with going back is actually the disruption to our lives because I know how often our kid gets sick in daycare. It’s just a reality and before it was just something we got through and we knew it would happen at some point. But now I feel it will cause us all so much stress at each sniffle and be constantly having to keep him home, isolate from grandparents in the area as a precaution etc. So just something else to consider. I’m truly not saying don’t do it, but just sharing some of the things that are going through my head having done daycare. I would see what the daycares precautions are going to be, some aren’t actually wearing masks from what I heard for better or worse, due to these issues. It’s such a stressful time - hope you find a good next step for your family. [/quote]
