DS was 2 in early August, DD is almost 5 months old. I am finding that I never have any time to concentrate on DD and as I have no relatives nearby I've been looking into the possibility of a preschool session once or twice a week for DS so that I can take DD to a baby group or similar.
DS has never really been left with anyone other than my DPs and he constantly follows me around at home, although is quite independent and very sociable when we go to playgroup, baby gym etc and he knows I'm nearby.
My gut feeling is he's not ready to spend several hours away from me - however, having never sent him to nursery, had babysitters etc then I'm not sure how I would tell when he is ready??
Would I be better off looking at nursery of CM instead? Or just abandoning the idea until I see some 'signs' that he might be ready (and if so, what are they?!) Thanks!
