Daycare/babysitter help

How long did it take your LO to get use to daycare/baby sitter?
I'm blessed enough to be a SAHM of my 8 mo son. I'm generally with DS 24/7, with the exception of a short date here and there when his grandparents watch him. I'm looking to join a gym that has a really great daycare facility. I tried it for the first time today and was called after 45 min to to pick up DS they call after the baby has been crying 10 min.
I didn't have my hopes to high today, 30 min before crying is great, and he went straight to the lady in the infant room with his arms up to her. I'm just curious from others how long it took before you're LO was ok in daycare for an hour, two or more?

Re: Daycare/babysitter help

  • No daycare advice specifically, but when I needed to leave DS with a new sitter recently, I went to her house with DS once just to hang out for a bit. He was able to get used to the place, the sitter, and her two children, all while I was there. When I left him there with her for an hour the other day, he did very well.

    All that is to say, can you just stop in with him for a little while one day and not go exercise, so that he becomes familiar with the place while you're there as a safe haven? That could help him feel more comfortable.

    Best of luck!
