DS1 was 8 weeks old when he went to daycare. I needed to go back to work for me. I love my son but I am not the stay at home type. It is my personality type!!

DS2 was 4 months old when he went to daycare. We had moved towns (about 1000kms between them) when I was pregnant and I waited until the house was sorted and my sons where settled in the new location (oh, and I found a job too!) before I sent them to daycare.

I think it has worked to my boys advantage as they are both very curious and very active. I do not think I could have given them the stimulation that daycare has on a daily basis. I have made sure that I was 100% happy with the centres before I sent them. I also make sure I jump on situations I am not happy with immediately and demand action. I have been fortunate that the daycares I have found are great places with wonderful people working there.
