thats my question. i'm working 2 days a week approx. sometimes can take her with me, but other days will leave her at home with my mum or niece to take care of her.
she just seems so little..
also, am still exclusively breastfeeding and intend to continue. opinions please..

she is keen. and i think she likes doing it, but she is not always the most careful ie: she can behave like a dizzy 17 yr old, but she would not deliberately put dd at risk, so am taking my time before leaving her at home for a long day with her.
but she knows her routine. knows what i usually do with her in the day, knows how to get her to sleep. most of all, she knows her.
also, think i will feel different about childcare when ddis 6 months

You've answered your own question. It's fine, now just get on with things until you reach the next stage. If it ain't broken don't fix it.

STop feeling guilty. its only 2 days of the week. You have 5 other days to enjoy her. it also gets her mixing with other people. My dd is 3 and really clingy and i blame that on the fact that i am a SAHM.

thanks for all your help people,
am feeling much more confident that this is a personal decision and that there is no "right" way to go. just the decisions we make as we go along. gosh, doesn't the responsibility feel overwhelming sometimes?
