Is anyone sending their baby to nursery soon feeling guilty? I watched a small video on social media where an expert is claiming it’s detrimental for the babies to attend nursery before 12 months.

Has anyone applied for 30 hours yet for their March babies?

Another that I looked out earlier in the week was a...
