Definitely not my cup of tea. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-baby-1-go-to-daycare-while-on-mat-leave-with-baby-2#post-6868 Fri, 28 Oct 2011 08:22:23 +0000 mrs. wagon 6868@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We'll definitely keep RJ in daycare since ours is nearby and affordable. Hopefully we can afford for me to stay home for at least a few months (I'm a contractor so I won't get any paid leave) but we're hoping grandma(s) can come and help out after I have to go back to work. Our daycare's minimum age is 15 months (it's really more of a pre-pre-school) so if we need to fill the gap between grandma(s) and entering daycare, we'll probably hire a nanny for 6 months or so just for the baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-baby-1-go-to-daycare-while-on-mat-leave-with-baby-2#post-6794 Thu, 27 Oct 2011 20:51:57 +0000 geekinheels 6794@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My in-laws are here to help with BebeDeux until March, but we're still undecided on what to do after they leave (Claire will be 17 months old then, and BebeDeux will be 4 months old). We've considered daycare, but the good ones in my area have 1-2 year waiting lists...so we may go the mother's helper or nanny route. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-baby-1-go-to-daycare-while-on-mat-leave-with-baby-2#post-6789 Thu, 27 Oct 2011 20:48:21 +0000 chopsuey 6789@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't have a #2 yet, but I'm planning on having my mom stay with me for at least a month, and will be hiring someone to help with the cleaning and cooking. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-baby-1-go-to-daycare-while-on-mat-leave-with-baby-2#post-6768 Thu, 27 Oct 2011 20:33:50 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 6768@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ya. I think for my sanity it's better.

You don't want to lose the spot if anything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-baby-1-go-to-daycare-while-on-mat-leave-with-baby-2#post-6763 Thu, 27 Oct 2011 20:29:54 +0000 mrbee 6763@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Charlie is definitely going to stay in daycare! There's no way we could do otherwise and both still work, alas... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-baby-1-go-to-daycare-while-on-mat-leave-with-baby-2#post-6759 Thu, 27 Oct 2011 20:26:24 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 6759@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know having 2 under 2 won't be easy and it's for that reason mavrick will continue to go to daycare while im on mat leave with baby 2. Sure it's money I could keep for myself, but that also means I would loose his spot and those are hard to find. </p> <p>Will you get your first taken care of while you take care of the little one? </p>
