At first we dropped our girls off and went inside until she was feeling comfortable. As soon as we tried to leave, it was a complete screamfest for our oldest. Now we just open the door, push them in and leave (it's for the best!). The longer we stayed, the more crying happened. However, for your 6 month old, he should be able to quickly be distracted while you sneak out. It's hard at first, but it does get a lot easier! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/advice-for-first-day-of-daycare#post-1975949 Mon, 08 Dec 2014 17:11:47 +0000 CakeLady 1975949@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>bump </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/advice-for-first-day-of-daycare#post-1975600 Mon, 08 Dec 2014 14:24:28 +0000 lamariniere 1975600@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think staying for a little while is a good idea. </p> <p>It's interesting, where I live, daycares encourage a transition period where the parent stays several hours with the child over the course of a week or two so that they slowly get used to the daycare. I'm actually going to be doing this in January when my youngest starts (she will be 14 months). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/advice-for-first-day-of-daycare#post-1975581 Mon, 08 Dec 2014 14:16:58 +0000 CakeLady 1975581@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS is starting daycare tomorrow. He's is 6 months old and been with a nanny at home until now. Any suggestions for how to ease the transition - for him, or for DH and I?</p> <p>I am planning to go into work late so I can stay a little while when I drop him off. (Is this a good idea?) </p>
