Planning to send my baby to the day care , I am little worried abt her health?

I am planning to send my little one whos 6mnth old to the day care next month. I am worried what kind of care will the day care provide her, will they take proper care of the baby ..can any one help..is it ok to send her at this young age?

It is likely that she will get sick when she first starts until her immune system gets stronger. Make sure that the center is one that you feel comfortable with. They should be clean when you tour. Also ask how they store and heat bottles. This is really important. Also ask how long they keep a bottle before they dump it. I used to work in an infant room of a child development center and we were allowed to keep a bottle out 1 hour after the infant touched it to their mouths. So even if they refused it after 1 oz. we had to dump it if not consumed in an hour and this would help to cut down on the growth of bacteria. It is okay to send her to a child care center at this age. When you tour, drop-in so that you can catch them off guard. Watch how they interact with the children and what kinds of things the babies are doing (what kind of toys they have). Ask how they sanitize toys, changing table, highchairs. Ask if your daughter will have her own crib. How often are the sheets changed? What is the policy for keeping your child home when sick or what is the policy for sending sick children home. Just know that when she first starts she will probably get sick a little more at. Then she will start to build up her immune system and she will get sick less.

i am a sahm but i will tell you that you need to make sure that the daycare is a "good one". i know u will worry. i would just check on your child when they don't know so you know what they are doing on a daily basis.

Well when you go to meet the person that will be doing the care ask for references. Because many of the good day care providers will have parents that no longer use them, write them references when they leave. And depending on where you are you can call the county that you live in to check them out.

Forget about it! There are all kinds of germs and stuff. That's right.
And the staff is most likely less than loving.
A baby needs to be with his or her Mama the first five years of life. If he ain't, he'll blame you for the rest of his life.
It's the natural thing to do to stay home with the kid. So quit your job or work out of the house with the kid in tow.
Go on welfare if you have to, but raise your baby yourself!
Put your career on hold for a few years. You both will be thankful that you did.
Or get Daddy to quit his job and become a house husband.

Believe or not actually babies even young ones get a few>or more colds a year, and I'v heard that you are building your childs immune sytem by introducing the baby to other kids .And what other choice do u have besides daycare? your baby will be fine.I'ts perfectly normal to worry .Maybe if you arent just worried bout sickness, u should stay for the first time u take them to ease your worries and see everything will be fine.
