[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Definitely a nanny since an infant is much too young to benefit at all from a daycare. Four infants per 1 adult just doesn't sit well w/me.

Can you take in a live-in??
That type of set-up would be the most ideal set-up for a situation like yours.[/quote]

Well, the ratio is 3:1, at least in MD.  And I disagree that there are no benefits to having an infant in daycare, albeit less pronounced than when the kid gets older.  I definitely believe that my 11 month old has benefited from the socialization of being around other kids his age and the organized activities he gets are more than he would get from almost any nanny.  Not saying there is anything wrong with a nanny, and there are some benefits, but I do think there are benefits, even for infants, in daycare.[/quote]

I thought that too until I put my child in daycare at 6 months and now at 15 months WOW was I glad that I did that.  He socializes so well, is comfortable leaving me, learns so much, knows how to behave in a "school" setting.  Has been exposed to toys and food I wouldn't have thought to.  [/quote]
