Better to be at nursery for two mornings a week or bored at home with me?

Please tell me what you think:

DD2 is 5 weeks old and I'm BF'ing, poor DD1 who is 19months old is getting so bored hanging about the house with us as we can't just get up and go like we did before the baby was born.

I've been mulling over and over again in my mind if she should go to the local nursery for two mornings a week to give her some kind of interaction with other people.

She goes to my mum two mornings a week and loves it - she is the sort of child that thrives the more people she has around her although this tends to be adults, when kids come round they seem to always get in a strop with each other over toys etc. and it generally ends in tears.

The thing that is putting me off is all the stuff you here about how bad it is to leave kids at nursery before they are 3 etc etc.

Does anyone else's kids love nursery more than being at home? or do you think she wouldn't get more out of nursery than being at home at this stage.
