Daycare/Nursery?

We just put our 5 month old in daycare a week and a half ago. He’s adjusting super well. It’s been harder for me than him! We did already get our first daycare cold though, so be prepared to be sick a lot if you do put your baby in (especially if it’s in the winter). I have heard that it can sometimes be easier to start them sooner since they don’t have stranger danger and separation anxiety yet but will develop that soon!

I put my 4month old into daycare. He’s been going for a month now and everything has been going pretty well.

Y'all are really helping my nerves, my little one goes end of this month and I'm so scared. Thank you for giving me some hope!! ❤️

My baby been in daycare since 3 months and he does very well. It actually help me relieve things like he can go down for nap without me rocking him to sleep.

She started earlier January. First day and second day she cried. Now I think she likes them more than me. She smiles with them at drop off and pick up and I always get a straight face. Next day after she started she started liking tummy time on the floor and started attempted to crawl. I guess cause she sees the older kids crawling idk. She also started rolling from back to front when she started too. Idk I think daycare made her more advance and doing stuff now cause she sees the other kids doing it

Yeah she also got sick too. Were going on an into of her having a cold. But that’s natural if she’s in an environment with other kids. But she’s building antibodies I guess

Thanks for the comments! 🫶🏾

Also a ftm. Today was literally the first day of daycare for my 5 month old son and my first day back to work. It was extremely emotionally hard, for me. My son on the other hand was so unfazed. The transition so far has been seemingly easy for him. Seeing how chill he was at drop off, during the day through pictures, and at pickup, made me feel more comfortable about everything. Plus the teachers are very accommodating towards parents and babies alike, and the communication is very open. I think that last part is key to a smooth transition.

We slowly started baby at 3.5 mos. 1 hour, 2 hours, half a day, full day. He learned that we will always come back and has been chill. It's hardest the first two weeks. First because it's emotionally rough for you, but then because he is absolutely going to get sick and you'll have to deal with it.

I’m on the same boat my twins are 4 Months and I was thinking on having them go at like 7/8 months like my toddler did but I might have to do it by 6 at most. My 2 yo started at 8 months and honestly that first year was horrible with the sickness every other week, I was working part time and had to call off a lot due to her being sick. But other than that it wS good she learned a lot more and was very independent, the ladies there made me feel secure and could tell they love what they do I definitely wish they can be the one watching my twins too

@Michayla Ashcroft I feel you I was so sad and cried in the car after I dropped her off, she got there happy she didn’t care I left, and honestly that hurt me a little bu they send me pictures through the day, I couldn’t wait to get off work to go pick her up. And is true you always have to keep a very open communication and be chill about things that happen so they know they can tell you everything without you freaking out.
