My son will be going into daycare in May when I return to work. He'll be 6 1/2 months old. I would love any tips you can give me. Especially, how do you handle separation anxiety, I have it, not my baby. I have only been away from him for about a total of 4 hours since he was born in October. It breaks my heart to have to be away from him all day long. I have no choice but to return to work due to money and health insurance coverage.
How do you handle the fact that you might miss some of the important "firsts". Like first steps, first word.
Anyone still breastfeeding? Does it still work out to breastfeed at night and in the morning and then give formula during the day? What if I'm unable to pump during the day, will my milk dry up?
Does 4 babies to 1 adult seem high? There are only babies in the room, when they reach 12 months then they move on to the next room.
Any other day care advise or tips are welcome.
Thanks.
