Nursery at 9 months - feeling like a bit of a failure as I have not coped that well on Mat leave...

Has anyone else sent their 9 month old to nursery for just two afternoons a week? I am feeling guilty for doing so. I am lucky enough to be able to afford it. I am returning to work but not until February, however my DC will probably continue to attend just for 2 1/2 day sessions.
Basically I am finding looking after the kids full time very stressful so have chosen the nursery route as I don't feel I can ask anyone else to help. I have potential PND which I am trying to get treated, however, I just feel like a bit of a failure for sending DC to nursery 3 months earlier than planned.

I don't know anyone else in RL who is doing this. The only people I know whose kids go to nursery are working.

I will have my 3 year old with me most of the time my 9 month old is in Nursery.

So glad you have had good advice on here. I have done the same as you, and have found being able to settle them in to nursery while you are still of is so much less stress and means if they get sick bugs you dont need to worry about time off work .

It really is win win :)
