Okay so I start my classes in January ( my son will be three months old) and he has to start day care 3 days a week. Is it normal to be so freaked out? Im so worried he wont get the attention he needs, or that they will forget to feed him, I just cant get thoughts like these out of my head. Any help or opinions would be helpful. Thanks

its normal...my mom will be watching mine and I am still freaking out. But dont worry there are more good than bad daycare. Go with your mother instincts when you check out the place.

Asjani will be in daycare in May and I am having separation anxiety already!

I just wanted to lend you some sympathy Erica! I know it must be so hard to think about :( Find a daycare you can trust and I'm sure that will help you feel more at ease.

Toya- if you don't mind me asking, what kind of name is Asjani? I think it's a very pretty name and I was wondering what ethnicity/meaning was behind it :)

My little lady just started going to her sitter yesterday and she has lots of kids there screaming and playing, but my baby did just fine. I haven't even cried yet, but when I get her home where it's quite and I can talk to her she just smiles at me real BIG!! I think I could cry then!!! But look on the bright side your child will be well socialized and FUN!! My friend is staying home with her baby and she's six months now and doesn't even want to play with her own father, she's only use to her mom, do you want that?? I've jsut told myself that I know she will never, ever, ever get the attention any where else from anyone else like she does from me and hubby, but when I get home I probably play harder and longer with her than when I was home for maternity leave. It will be ok!!

My son gets watched by his grandmas and my cousin, so I know it is not exactly a daycare situation. But I worry about him and cried when I went back to work for about the first week. But he is doing fine, and spending time with family and getting lots of attention. I know he knows I am his mommy and I believe nobody takes care of him as good as me, but I spend plenty of quality time with him when I am with him. There really are more good daycares than bad ones. Good luck to you.

I went back to school when my son was 2 and I flipped when I had to send him to daycare 2 days a week. It was really hard because most of the other kids were used to being there and my son was used to being with me. He cried every time I dropped him off. It was torture!

I forgot to add that it does get easier as time goes on. That is something people told me when I went back to work, I did not believe them, but it is true!!

i understand too, Jasmin is 4 weeks now and i will have to go back to work forat least a few days per week in around 4 months, im already worrying, although i worked at a nursery for 6 months once and it was great, good for children to learn about sharing, making friends, meeting others, building confidence, and doing tones of activities youd never have the time to organise at home, i know it will wrench my heart, i cant go back full time though, that would be too much.
