[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is not a bad thing for your child to attach to daycare providers or other adults! They are not going to replace you, OP.[/quote]

During the first years of life, babies and toddlers require care that is:

1. Stable
2. Competent 
3. Loving

For most children, the parent is the best person who can provide all three components.

Like many stressed out nurses, daycare workers don't have the time to love your child, even if she wanted to. Other babies are crying to be fed, changed, and picked-up. Just observe in any one of these places for yourself. Invest a few hours of watching with your mouth closed and your eyes and ears open. See for yourself.

No, you are wrong.  I directed a center wirh 3 infant rooms for many years and our teachers did love the children.  Not the same as you do, of course,  but they care deeply. They know each child as an individual, know their interests,  fears, what they like the best,  etc. And the babies make friends with the other babies,  too. And when the babies moved up to the toddler rooms, they still loved their infant teachers. ...

Now, I think you should also investigate in home childcare, as you might be more comfortable with a smaller, mixed age environment.
