[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The problem with daycare is that there may be only one adult per four infants so it is tougher to dole out individual attention if all the babies are crying at the same time.

I don't know your finances, but is there any way you can hire a provider to come into your home and care for your baby vs. him staying in a daycare? A good nanny will be able to work with you on establishing good sleeping habits. :)[/quote]

OP, don't let people like this make you nervous. I am sure your baby's teachers will be extremely attentive during the initial adjustment period and will work through any and all sleep issues your baby might have. Really. [/quote]
Apparently you've never been responsible for three babies at once. Lots of crying while each one awaits to get the needed care most of them are used to at home.

Just a little reality check.[/quote]

I got in the car after day care drop off with my two little girls today (2.5 and 20 weeks)  and thought - Geez, I am so lucky to have that happy place to leave my kids. They care about them and both are happy to be dropped off...

You know, every mom has these concerns. I found that our teachers were super attentive to what we had been doing leading up to her start at day care (same age) and generally very kind. Sure, your baby will sometimes cry for a few minutes longer than if you were one on one with them but my daughter lights up when she sees her primary teacher and they are in tune with her needs. Most people don't choose to work with infants unless they actually like infants. Most of them have a ton of experience and will be helpful in your parenting journey. It is normal to worry about these things and very normal to ask about them. Be open to what they have to say...it usually works out pretty well. [/quote]
