How many times a day do you call?

How many times a day do you call to check up on your child at daycare?
DD just started yesterday. I called 3x and my husband called once.. that's probably a lot but i was so worried and it was just her 1st day. today i've called once so far and i will probably call again in the afternoon.

I actually don't call at all, never did, not even the first day, i think that would have made me a little sadder with the seperation anxiety, mine, not DD's. ?I figure if she is not ok, they know to call me.

In the 6 months I've been back to work, I've called maybe 2 or 3 times total.  I called once the first week (not even the first day) and maybe 1 or 2 other times if I know she had a really rough night.

They'll call me or H if something is wrong.

I actually don't call unless I suspect she's coming down with something or is just coming back from being sick and I want to make sure she's doing okay.  But that's just me.  I think I did call once a day during DD's first week.

I don't call to check on my DS at all.  I figure if something isn't right the babysitter will call me.  His first day with the new sitter, I called once.

Not at all.  Every time they have to answer the phone, they're away from childcare.

The first day I think I called once. After that I didn't, with the exception of today because my ds is having a rough day for some reason.

My dd I didn't call, because the daycare is right here at my work. All I had to do was walk over there to check on her.

I never call now but I know the teachers really well and they call me for things that they know I will want to know about right away.  In the beginning, I called twice a day for the 1st few months with DD#1 and then called once a day until she was close to a year.

I called once on his first day.  He was totally fine but I think it worked me up more.  I asked if it was okay to call and they said yes, but I also figured they have plenty to do besides answer the phone!  I know they will call if he is having a bad day or is sick.

Girl - You are not alone, I called once or twice every day for the first two weeks. I don't anymore unless DS had a bad night or something. It will get better after about 2 weeks, and you won't feel the need to call so much.

I called once the first day and that's it.

The days my mom watches her I call once during my lunch and love to hear the details of their morning...my mom will tell me exactly what they have done and it is nice.  When she is at daycare I don't call at all... I know they are busy and don't really have time to chat and plus they are just going to say everything is fine because if it wasn't they would have called me...

I have a nanny who picks DS from the daycare at my work at about 12pm.   I call her usually around once, just because I want to hear what he was doing at DC when she picked him up.  Also my DH usually beats me home by a few minutes so I don't see her in person some days, so I want to make sure we keep the comm lines open!

I called once the first day to check on him and it made me so sad that I never did it again.

I never called.  I found it was easier for me to not call because it would make me think about DS and make me sad that I was at work and not at home with him.  I knew that if anything was wrong, they would call me.

For the first few weeks I called every day, sometimes several times.  Now I don't usually call unless she was fussy in the morning or sick or unless I just feel like I really need to.  The ladies at her daycare so are great and understanding.  They never made me feel bad for calling.

never, I want them to take care of her and not answer the phone all day.  its hard at first...but it does get easier!

i have never really called and don't really call now . . a couple of days she was having problems at the beginning, but then i would call to check up . .but haven't done that in a while.

The first week I called about 2x per day and had DH call too. After that first week I never really call.

I just started with DS in daycare and have called once each day. It may sound crazy but the fact that he is totally happy playing with the other kids and his caregiver makes me both really reassured and really sad. Shouldn't he miss me? But shouldn't I be happy he adjusted so well?? He is doing two full 'trial' days next week and then I am back to work. I thought I would be easing him into daycare but I am having a harder time with it!

The first week I called once a day, and I went to nurse her at lunch. I still nurse her at lunch 3 days a week, but I don't call.  I trust them and know that things are going well. If they were having a problem they'd give us a call.

I called once on the first day and that was it. However, my dd was over a year old when she started
