For moms of children in daycare or w/babysitters etc?

my daughter is 2 and she loves daycare she has friends and she likes her teachers. she was 8 months when she started going to daycare she didn't like it at first because she was with people she didn't know and she was not with me. it took her about a week or so to get used to eat you have to stick with it espically if you are going to be working. it's going to be hard it was very hard for me when i first brought her school i cried when i left her because she was crying and when i went to pick her up she came right to me she was so happy. but now when i pick her up she doesn't want to leave because she has so much fun playing with her friends and learning. she will get used to eat. as far as the wet clothes i would tell her teachers what is going on let them know that they need to keep her dry. make sure you bring a change clothes for them if nessacary i bring a least 2 pairs of clothes with my daughter everyday most days she doesn't need to be changed because she is being potty trained but i would just do that let her teachers know so both you and her will be happy

My son entered childcare when he was 18 months. Right up to the age of 6 he was there from about 8am to 7pm in the evening. He took to it almost immediately after the first day when I was around the premises. Then again, he never had parent separation anxiety either.

Why did the daycare folks tell you she refused her bottle when they hadn't even mixed the formula in the first place, I'm wondering? If you have any instructions, it's best to write them down and notify the caregivers, so they can't accuse you of not having informed them earlier.

It would've been good if you had placed your baby there before you'd started work instead of making your first day at work also the first for her at the daycare. That way, you could've sat in and familiarised yourself with their schedule, the way they handle the kids, etc. Perhaps you can request for some time off now to do this, if it would help allay your fears. To get my son to adjust, I monitored him from outside the class, so he wouldn't know I was there and I could observe how he was acting as well when I "wasn't around".

pull her out, find a daycare near you. she's so young... you don't want to worry about HER everyday while you are trying to work.
