DD1 was 7 months when i went back to work FT, she was minded by my mum though so it was much easier to leave her. DD2 was with mum 3 days a week from 4 months but I went on leave when she was 1 as mum was sick and it was all a bit mixed up with carers for her. After mum died she was with 1 lady on a monday, FDC Tuesday and Thursday, my brother wednesdays and a friend on Fridays, that changed a bit until she went to preschool but my fabulous brother who had no kids at the time had her every wednesday until she started school. In retrospect it was a bad way to deal with CC for her as now even at 10 she is my most clingy child and i think it partly stems from her lack of stability as a little child. (sorry hijacking here, its just made me think)

DS went to FDC 3 days a week from 8 months then at nearly 2 went 4 days and from 2 1/2 went 4 days FDC and 1 day with my dad. This year he has 3 days FDC and 2 days of preschool which he is really ready for as its more stimulating than FDC (although he still loves FDC and his carer)
