I am going through the exact same thing! Funny how whenever I need help there's always someone on here with the same problem.   We also just sold our house and just bought a new one, tonnes of stress associated with...

Honestly, I don't really see any drawbacks to going with the full day option.  If it was me, my only concern would be paying for two hours of nap time, which could otherwise be my "alone time" at home in the afternoon.  This...

I would pump at work in that situation - mostly for the sake of keeping my supply up. Even if your dd doesn't drink what you pump, at least you're keeping your supply up and offering your milk to dd. She'll probably get more used to...

My DD's been in daycare for the last 4 months. She had a really tough transition for the first month or two, but now she loves going (she's 15 months now). I love the daycare. DH wants his sister to come work for us as our nanny. ...
