I did feel much better about leaving her today for her first 'real' day after seeing how happy she was yesterday. And this place is amazing, they texted me photos of her all day and updates on her naps and eating... i think they only do that her first week, but it helped a ton! </p> <p>Sorry to threadjack! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-was-your-lo-when-they-started-daycare#post-1051592 Thu, 29 Aug 2013 09:32:04 +0000 808love 1051592@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A few days a week at in home sitter-6 months old.

That just means you have a good set up in place. The toughest part was leaving her with what essentially feels like strangers at daycare. My mom is with her today and I feel tons better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-was-your-lo-when-they-started-daycare#post-1051546 Thu, 29 Aug 2013 09:16:10 +0000 JoJoGirl 1051546@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Revel: Only a half day, but it went great! She was SO HAPPY when I went to get her at lunch. We'll see how today goes. For some reason it wasn't that hard on me (#momfail).. I don't think I'm cut out to SAH. LO also didn't nap there, so we'll see how her night goes tonight... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-was-your-lo-when-they-started-daycare#post-1051460 Thu, 29 Aug 2013 08:49:59 +0000 Adira 1051460@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>12 weeks (-1 day)! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-was-your-lo-when-they-started-daycare#post-1051410 Thu, 29 Aug 2013 08:36:58 +0000 Revel 1051410@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JoJoGirl: My LO started yesterday too! 12 and half weeks. How did it go for you guys? It was incredibly tough for me, but DD seemed none the worse for wear other than that she didn't nap. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-was-your-lo-when-they-started-daycare#post-1051283 Thu, 29 Aug 2013 07:58:28 +0000 MamaMoose 1051283@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>15 weeks. She's 9 months now and she loves going to school. </p> <p>@autumnlove: I think how much they get sick has a lot to do with what time of year they start. My friend's LO started in Oct at the beginning of cold season and was sick all the time. My LO started in March when cold season was slowing down and rarely got sick. Now she's starting to get frequent ear infections but they seem to be caused by teething as opposed to actually catching something at school. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-was-your-lo-when-they-started-daycare#post-1051274 Thu, 29 Aug 2013 07:55:25 +0000 littlebug 1051274@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>11 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-was-your-lo-when-they-started-daycare#post-1051267 Thu, 29 Aug 2013 07:53:03 +0000 lavender 1051267@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>6 1/2 months and same for LO #2 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-was-your-lo-when-they-started-daycare#post-1051180 Thu, 29 Aug 2013 07:24:58 +0000 NavyRN2012 1051180@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO isn't in daycare, but big brother was 2.5 years old when he started (I started taking day classes for nursing school at this time). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-was-your-lo-when-they-started-daycare#post-1051117 Thu, 29 Aug 2013 06:58:53 +0000 Mrs. Bee 1051117@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>21 months for Charlie, 16 months for Olive.
