Ds1 has just turned 2 in April. We also had ds2 at the beginning of March so the times have been a-changing here recently. I have been umming and ahhing about when to start DS in nursery. I am on maternity leave and work evenings/nights so childcare is not an issue, but I feel that DS would benefit from more interaction with other kids and more stimulation than I can offer at home. I have found a local nursery where a friend's son goes that she really recommends. I just feel so nervous about it because his brother has only just arrived and I think he is very sensitive to it all. His behaviour has definitely started to be more challenging- all normal stuff for his age and he has a new sibling, so nothing alarming- and I am worried he feels a bit abandoned by me because I'm often with the baby now and not just him. I don't want him to feel even more abandoned. Is it just the wrong time? I had planned on starting him there in July possibly for just 2 afternoons per week. Please share any thoughts or experiences as I am quite unsure of it all!
