[quote=Anonymous]My 16 month old has been in daycare since 6 months (I had a lucky mat leave), and I wouldn’t have it any other way. Sometimes I don’t know how folks with nanny’s do it!! I feel like she gets such a great amount of attention, stimulation, new activities, art projects, songs, etc etc that it’s really benefitted her. Literally just today she started singing a song that I eventually figured out was one I knew and the look on her face when I started singing it too was priceless! She’s on top of all her milestones, she and I have a great relationship, she’s a good sleeper and eater…. Idk! Kids are different and you should listen to your gut, but in my view there’s nothing to worry about with daycare and it might actually be a really positive thing. Not something you’re “sacrificing” for or that you “have” to do because it better fits your finances. &lt;3

Ahh I almost regret saying this because I don’t want to be a negative Nelly but look I jog around at lunch and I see Nannie’s walking with kids who I’m sure are perfectly good professionals but they’re also human! So like yep they’ve got your kid outside but they’re on the phone or whatever. In a daycare setting you have more than one adult to pick up the slack when one of them needs to check out for their own sanity for a moment. I just really do think it’s a good model. Daycare will be okay and it might just be great!![/quote]
