Day care worries...
Show your support
I literally just put mine in. I have a 2 month old. My oldest is 22 months. He is a super picky eater, same as yours; has two pacifiers for naps, only drinks chocolate and white milk together lol, and has only ever been with me. I’m home too and I needed time to bond with baby, and my oldest was bored out of his mind. So I thought to put him into daycare. It was sooooo stressful for me. I kept thinking omg what if he thinks ive abandoned him, what if he hates it and cries all day, what if …. Well it’s 3 weeks in, he just started sleeping almost 2 hrs, eats all the food they gave him, has little friends, walked in today without even saying good bye. Lol. It was hard week one, for both of us. Week 2 was better, and now third I feel he is happy to go. Advice: choose a good one with good reviews, trust your gut, and ask all the questions. My ladies are so accommodating. They do his half half milk, they give him lots of hugs and make him feel special, give his two pacifiers at nap.
Honestly I had these fears with my first child. Listen to you gut when you go and check out daycare/day homes. I had doubts about the first day home and I thought I was being paranoid but it was a mistake. My kids are now both in different daycares (cause of their ages) and I like both. They both work to work with kids and parents needs. If I say I would like my kid to stop sucking their thumb or I want to potty train they work with me to achieve the goal that I set for my children. So when you go to a daycare get a list together that will help you pick the right daycare for you. As for how he will do my kid was super attached to me and cried for 2 weeks but once you are gone they typically settle down.
