I don’t need to work based on spouse’s income (high 6fig) but want to, not because I really love working but because of everything I hear about needing to stay independent. [/quote]

It isn't untrue that being able to provide for yourself in a contingency scenario is VERY important to keep in mind.  There are other ways to do it, or you can knowingly accepting the risk if the risk isn't too great (i.e. if you have a lot of saving already and could "Make it" even if you couldn't get a similar job back).

If you don't need to work, this implies you can afford a very expensive nanny.  I would absolutely prefer a professional nanny over family help, but maybe your family is different than mine :) You could try it for a few months and see if you can get comfortable with it.   It is very easy to quit your job if you just can't make it work.

At 6 months, I think a nanny or nanny share is the best if you can find a really great one.  Around 2 years, I like high quality day care centers instead. [/quote]
