I understand that once the baby arrives, if I was to place her into Kindy then, she would possibly associate the baby's arrival with her having to go into this strange new place and that could be a bad thing, so I have been advised by almost everyone who I've talked to, that it's probably best if I either do it now before bub comes OR I will have to wait months after the baby comes.
shanti ... your point above would be *exactly* my concern.

because of this, I'd be getting her started at kinder in March, so that she's not associating ... and so that you can put your feet up a bit more, before you new LO arrives! being able to get some extra sleep, do your nesting, etc will be that much easier, if DD if at Kinder a couple of times a week.

Just my opinion
