Hi
Just hoping for some advice on a dilemma I'm having with DS who is 22 months old. He currently goes to CM 1 day per week. He is extremely clingy with me and very difficult with people he doesn't know. he won't let anyone anywhere near him. Shoe shopping/haircuts/doctors visits are all totally nightmareish for him (and me!). It's taken him a long time to get used to CM and is now happy there. Trouble is, we now need childcare for him three days per week and CM can only do one extra day. My mum also has him one day a week and I'm worried about him being pushed from pillar to post. So - do we try and get him in nursery 1 day, grandma 1 day and CM 2 days, or nursery 3 days and grandma 1 day? My gut instinct is that continuity and consistency would be better, but then it's all going to be new and a very different environment from what he's grown used to. It's such a shame that CM can't fit him in for the extra day.... any advice would be gratefully received.
