Talk me off the ledge about sending my 3 month old to daycare
I’m 11 weeks postpartum (FTM) and go back to work in a week. I took my baby to her new daycare today to drop off all the things and boy and I EMOTIONAL. There are 2 teachers and 8 infants and the whole time I was in there, there were 1-2 babies crying the entire time. I totally get it’s unrealistic for all the babies to be completely calm and happy, but it just made me so sad. I just want the best for my girl and for her to get all the love and care she deserves.
Oh also, one of the ladies said to me “don’t be surprised if she doesn’t eat much or sleep much at the beginning” I appreciate the warning but it kind of just made me feel worse about all this.
I’m debating quitting my job but then I think about how hard I worked to get where I’m at and how much money I make and I just am really struggling.
Anyone able to relate or share positive stories about sending their infant to daycare?
