i so agree with you yvonne118.. i myself send my then 3-months old son to the nursery. my MIL took care of my bb when i started work for 1 mth. then i had to find a place for my bb coz MIL was on leave for that 1 mth only. many suggestions to send him to family member/nanny than nursery. but personally, i prefer nursery (provided a good one) as they are well-trained on how to handle babies, EBM, etc. nanny/family member (esp. older ones) MAY not know the correct way to handle your EBM. i went to few nurseries before deciding. the cheaper ones i went to, were not up to my liking. i ended up sending my bb to a nursery with less babies, with ratio of helper to baby is 1:2. ever since i sent my bb there, i never had any uneasy feeling. i am happy i send him there even tho it burns a hole in my pocket. still, its up to your preference. some may prefer nanny, some may prefer nursery. so long as we get a good one, it puts a peace on our mind. we just have to search for it.
