Im having anxiety about putting 4 mo old daycare. Is it true that it will be harder on me than her? I hope so?

I'm afraid she won't be taken care of as well I as take care of her. I don't want her sitting in dirty diapers all day with a half wiped runny nose, sitting in a swing or the crib all day.Im having anxiety about putting 4 mo old daycare. Is it true that it will be harder on me than her? I hope so?
take no notice of that prat. im a nursery nurse and also have 2 children of my own. although it may be hard for you it has many benefits for the child, like learning how to socially interact with their peers and develop their Independence.most children love day care and would have to pass in depth inspections on a regular basis to stay open. choose a place that has qualified staff and a good reputation and take your child for a few trials first to see how she settles in.Im having anxiety about putting 4 mo old daycare.

No one will take as good of care as you. However, if you have no other choice just make sure you do research on the one you choose. I don't think anyone in childcare would leave your baby dirty all day or let her cry. If it where me I would stress the importance of sticking to a schedule and then I'd drop in several times a day in the beginning to see how the baby is doing. Good luck I feel for you having to leave your baby. It will be hard but you both will adjust.
It's hard to put a baby in daycare, especially when they're not old enough to tell you if something is wrong.





I'm not a fan of large centers. I think that in home, licensed daycare usually offers a better fit for children, as it's a more comfortable environment for those that haven't been to school yet.





You will want to thoroughly research the daycare you want to use, including checking past references. Once you've made the decision, trust your instinct. Try to come by and visit if you can (or ask a trusted friend or relative to do so; list them on the pick up list so that they will be allowed in), during the day, so that you can see the conditions that your daughter is in. If she's repeatedly coming home with diaper rash, or reacts negatively when you use your own swing or crib, those may be signs that she's not getting the best care possible. You can reasonably expect that she won't be held as much as she does at home, and that she may wait a bit longer for a diaper change, and that her schedule will be altered to fit the daycare providers, but these changes are merely a result of the need of the child to fit in with the providers needs in relation to taking care of several children at once. However, this does not excuse negligence, so you will want to be on the lookout for diaper rash or other signs like excessive injuries. That's not to say that your child won't come home with an occasional scraped knee or bruise as she falls down like every child will, but if you see something that concerns you, address it however you feel the need to do so, even if that means putting your child into a different daycare.





While there will be some separation anxiety when you drop her off, probably for several weeks, this will, in the long run, be harder for you than it is for her. I went back to work about nine months ago, and I still feel guilt over putting my kids in daycare-and they are two and three! But they love it, and often ask to go on the weekends!
