Ann have you looked at Family Day Care?? I have found it to be the happy medium between nanny and a centre. Matilda goes and soon will be going to montesorri and Jovie will be taking her place for at least 1 day a week.

Well... Jovie's been unsettled for 3 hours. I tried everything... I tried rocking her, feeding her, breastfeeding her, pacing the floor, leaving her alone, putting her on the ground, in the walker, in the jolly jumper... I've tried going for a walk... everything. Then after 3 hours of screaming she fell asleep in my arms. I had to put her in the cot earlier & walk away I got so upset. Weird mix of anxious and angry... strange how hours of crying and screaming can do that to you. I took her temp & it was 37 so not really high and I gave her panadol jic after 45 minutes of it... urgh.
