Is there anything else besides this list that I can do to help make DD's transition easier?
1. Make sure she'll take a bottle.
2. Make sure my frozen BM doesn't have lipase issues
3. Have other people hold her and soothe her when crying.
4. Practice a morning routine this week for getting out the door.
Re: XP: Off to daycare on Monday
I don't know if this is possible, but I would spend a couple of hours at the daycare to make YOUR transition easier. Watching the way the teachers interacted with the babies, getting to know them, and being able to give them little tidbits of info on DS made me feel a little more comfortable when I finally returned back to work. DS actually started school three days before I went back to work.
GL!
