Daycare - when is your baby starting?
For those of you going back through work soon and putting your baby in daycare , I’m curious to know when you plan to start your baby in daycare?
My baby is now 6 weeks and in early January i am starting a new job. I am working from home but my job will be very busy. I don’t feel comfortable sending my daughter to daycare yet and hope to care for her while working at home - but with help (currently looking for options for a babysitter to come help). I’m just curious what your plans are? I’m in the US and I wish we had better policies for parental leave, seems like a year old is ideal to start daycare, but in this country that is nearly impossible

My son is starting day care at 4 months old. I wish I could stay home longer but it’s just not possible right now. I go back to work in 3 weeks and my husband will be home with him for the rest of the time. But I feel a little better because I work with 2 miles off his day care so I’ll be close to him
@Andria I know it will be hard for me - I’m trying to find a babysitter to come to my home for a while. I am having a hard time keeping up now even without working! By the time I start working again she will only be 9 weeks.
@Jessica the daycare I plan to enroll her in is very close to my home too!

My daughter is going to start daycare with her brother 2/3. She will be almost 13 weeks. I also work from home and tried to have my son home with me at first while we found child care and it was very hard. I am not sure what you will be doing, but for me I had to have help!
