Daycare & attachment issues

murphy38

I'm due back at work end of this month and will be leaving my little girl who will then be three months. The tentative schedule is that she will be in daycare Tues & Thurs, her grandmother will watch her in our house on Mondays, and a family friend will watch her in our house on Wed. I'll be off on Fridays. I'm beginning to worry that she might get confused with so many people watching her.  Am I just overreacting, are these just first-time jitters for leaving my baby? Or should I be concerned that it could create confusion or attachment issues?

I don't have any personal experience with it, but my nephew has a similar situation.  He goes to Grandma #1 on Mondays, Grandma #2 on Tuesday, his dad stays home on Wednesday, and Mom is home Thursday and Friday.  He is a perfectly happy, well adjusted 10 month old (he's had that situation since 3 months as well).

DS will have a schedule that alternates like that for awhile. He will be in daycare  4 days a wk starting in April though.  I hope he does ok with it.  It starts for us next week.
