No.

Warehousing your flesh and blood for strangers to "love" is another form of "prostitution".

Absolutely NO ONE can care for, nuture, feed, clean, play with, or love your baby as deeply as you. NO ONE!

Find a way to have a friend or family member to watch the baby if you must have a part-time job. This is if you MUST MUST MUST have some form of income just to survive-just to eat, just to keep a roof over your head.

If you want to work out of boredom or just for some extra cash to buy "things", then you need to re-evaluate your priorities.

Think this through. Don't make your child grow to know you more as a stranger than as the person who loves him more than anyone else in the world can.

My son went to daycare for 2 days a week at 6 months; it became something he just did and got used to rather than a huge issue. He is almost 2 now and he loves the days he goes to nursery.
As long as it is good quality, loving childcare there is no evidence to suggest your child will suffer any ill effects; if anything, he or she will be more socially able and comfortable with the routine of school when he or she gets older.

If you have no-one to watch him then you have no choice. As long as you pick a good one your son will be secure, fed and changed he will also grow up with other children and different sights and sounds.
The bad point is that you will miss all those first like the first steps etc and childcare is extremely expensive, I'd think it over first.
I couldn't imagine going back to work while my sons so young but then I'm completely happy being a mum and being at home. If you aren't then it may be the best thing for you and for the baby

no person seems after your infant the way which you do. in case you will get a family contributors member to shield them quite enable that be your 2d decision. Your first decision is to discover a job the place you may watch your infant and nonetheless artwork. initially by using regulation you may take 3 months bypass away below the family contributors bypass away act yet they do no longer could pay you for the entire bypass away. i'm a mom of four. I even have an infant 6 mos, 3 year previous and a pair of in school one 0.5 and the entire time. Mhubbyby and that i noted daycare and located that it grew to become into no longer only right for us. in case you may handle without your interest then stay homestead. If no longer then p.c. the wonderful on your infant. verify to establish if there's a at-homestead mom daycare on your community and talk to the mothers who use her to observe their babies and to the female herself. they do no longer seem to be as costly and smaller to ensurat leastst greater valuable care of your infant. that's closer to homestead so it heavily isn't too a lot of a distance to return and forth to p.c.. your infant up. First decision stay homestead. 2d decision see if family contributors can help you out. third decision community daycare.

While I do not have children of my own, I worked in a daycare center for a few years. I understand needing to go back to work (especially for monetary reasons). However, leaving a child of that age all day is not always the best thing for them, find out what kind of care the places in your area give. Maybe go to work on a part time basis, making time to be with your child for feeding time, play time etc.
It always broke my heart to watch these children get dropped off at 7AM and not picked up until 6, when they would go home and go to bed. They miss their parents and the parents in turn miss out on big milestones and quality time with their children. Having a child in my room call me "mommy" says it all.

If u trust the daycare provider , than why not. Do u know them personally or not? You can also ask some of the other parents that have their children attend the daycare, their feeling on it. Good luck with it.

Honestly? No. This is a crucial time in his developement. He needs face time with you. Think he'll get that in a day care? No. He'll be stuck in a crib all day long. It's not the daycare's fault really. They just can't provide that kind of attention to every child there.

If you have to go back to work then u dont have a chioce really, personally i think a childminder would be a better option , my reasons being that teh childminder renders one to one care to the child, secondly childminders have fewer children to mind hence giving your child enough attention, thirdly your child would be in a home environment and lastly you can build up a close relationship and rapport with the minder.

I say put him in when he young. the older the child gets the harder it is for them and the parent. You shouldn't feel guilty for going back to work. You are providing for the child. It's not you will never see the child again. Plus the longer your out of work the harder it is for you to get back in the work force. The employers do look at how long you took off between your last job and coming back.

As long as you trust the people at the daycare and you know he'd be safe there, why not? My 11 month old is in daycare and he has his little friends there already and he is learning faster than my other children who didn't go that early. Kids learn socialization easier and it helps them become independent and teaches separation. Good luck.
