btdt moms: daycare "days" advice

Samantha will be starting daycare in two weeks and I am trying to decide - Chat Icon - she has to go on thursdays but I don't know if its better to also send her either Tuesdays or Fridays - they are being flexible w/ me at work so I am lucky but which is better for an almost 5 month old - tues/thurs or thurs/fri - the other days I will still be with her.....

thanks for all advice and insight!! Chat Icon

(I added a poll but please also if you can, give me your reasoning...we keep going back and forth!)

I can see your dilemma.

Thurs/Fri is better for her because it gives her consistency. Two days in a row is less disruptive than alternating days.

However, having Fridays off might be better for you, I assume.

Is she going to be with you the other 5 days? If so, then I think the thurs/fri arrangement is better because it gives her 5 consecutive days with you, and 2 consecutive days at daycare. It also gives you 2 consecutive days at work which might be more productive for you also.

GL.

I started working when DS was 2 months old and he seems to be adjusting well. Kids are flexible They will get used to what needs to be done. Do what is best for YOU! I found working 2 days in a row for me made me more tired so the break up of work days is a better thing for us. This makes our time together more enjoyable since I am less tired. I work Tues/ Thurs and we do Gymboree and music Wed/Fri so DS gets good mommy time. That is just what works for me. See how you feel and what you think is best for you. Good Luck!

I vote thurs/fri

I think the 2 days in the row, work best for the child!

Oh don't get me wrong the decision should OF COURSE be what is best for the baby! I was just saying consider yourself in the decision too! Happy mommies make happy babies!
Good Luck with whatever you decide it will work out for the best no matter what!

I voted Thur/Fri because I think 2 days at daycare is better for the child for consistency sake. It's also better - at least for me - to work 2 consecutive days.

Instead of a 3 day weekend, you wind up with the ability to take a 5 day since you wouldn't have to go to work until Thursday every week.

Good luck with your decision.Chat Icon

I would do the 2 days in a row. I currently do 3 days in a row and it works well for us.
