[quote=Anonymous]DC #1 - returned at 5 months. Her daycare was in my building. I planned to ramp up that first week and work partial days, but the first day I went to get her she was so happy I worked a few more hours. Same the second day. I would go down and nurse her during the day, so that was a nice balance. (though I was also happy to get my life / lunch breaks back when I weaned.)

We moved so DD #1 switched to a daycare near DH’s office. When DD #2 was born we wanted them at the same daycare. A spot became available at 3 months and, for reasons I’m unclear on, they wouldn’t let us pay more than a month without sending her to daycare / using the spot. So we had to start her at 4 months. It wasn’t what I’d hoped, but was fine. I have a hard time with the really infant phase, so would have preferred another month with her, but that was a matter of preference. I was healthy and fine. My first was born early, had some challenges early on, and I had some ptsd challenges so four months would have been much harder with her. [/quote]
