Im going to start a new job soon and last minute they informed me that my days would be changed. I had previously arranged for my mum to have my 14 month old ds for the days I would be working (its part-time) but now my days have changed I need to find alternative childcare for him on one of those days as she is not available. Im torn between whether to put him in a nursery or find a childminder. I have two weeks to decide before I start and Im not at all sure what is the best option for him.
Some background on my son. He is quite sensitive; doesnt respond well to changes to his routine; is breast fed; is super clingy at the moment; likes being held and having lots of attention; hates having his nappy changed and is very active. My worry is that he will struggle in a nursery setting as he will be overwhelmed by all the new faces. However I feel more secure knowing there are lots of people.
I just need advice as I am really desperate at the moment. This is not what I wanted for my 14 month old baby but I am in this situation now and I need to find the best solution for him.
