[quote=Anonymous]Our second was a preemie born during flu season and I pulled my 2 year old out of day care for the first 3 months after bringing the little one home from the nicu.  We kept germs at bay and no one got sick.  I did not have additional help and my husband was traveling for work much of the time.   I treasured the extra time with my two year old and the opportunity for the kids to bond.  We had a nice routine going to the park in the morning to play while I held the baby in the carrier.  Baby was typically sleeping or nursing.   Then home for lunch.  Toddler would nap after lunch and baby would be awake.  Toddler snd baby wound play after nap and before dinner.  It was quite lovely and I wasn’t battling traffic for daycare pickup.

After my maternity leave was over they both went to daycare together.  I disagree about the importance of routine.  With the new baby my older son was craving my time, and I was able to give that to him because he wasn’t spending all day in daycare!  [/quote]
