[quote=Anonymous]I went through much of the same thinking process, except I'm not a fed and my arranged childcare (grandma) got canceled on a short notice, so I was feeling even more strapped.

After touring and researching well reputed childcare facilities, I felt I couldn't put my infant there and we went with the nanny share.  My advice to you would be to try that.  Here is why I think nanny share is superior:

- someone is exclusively focused on your baby (well, 50% focused)

- more ability to set and follow a good, healthy routine, which I feel is key for young children.  I don't think caregivers in a daycare centers would be as focused on making your baby nap on time and eat on time

- more ability to take long walks in good weather - can you imagine what a hassle it is to walk multiple infants? just getting out of the door likely takes a while. Our nanny spent hours outside with the kids.

- warmer, intimate, more affectionate setting.

This doesn't mean there aren't good centers or good people in these centers. I just feel that some arrangements are more conducive to providing good care, and some are less so.  In my opinion, and your mileage will vary, a nanny share is a better for for a very young baby.[/quote]
