Daycare
How early should I start looking into daycare? I plan to go back to work 6 to 8 weeks after baby is born. I'm 7 months and someone told me I should have started already.

Re: Daycare
Now. I started right after she was born in April... I JUST got a spot for September.
I did find an immediately available spot at an in-home daycare, but they rubbed me the wrong way and I was fortunate enough to have family pitch in and watch her for the summer. So she's starting in daycare after labor day.

Re: Daycare
Sooner the better. Some more popular or smaller places book up quickly.

Re: Daycare
Now. My daughter is due in November and we just registered her for Tutor Time starting in January (she'll be between 8 - 10 weeks old). When I called around to various daycares they were already booking up. The problem is that each daycare is only allowed a certain number of infants in their care at a time, so they only offer a certain number of open slots. Once those fill up, you're SOL.

Re: Daycare
I went in March. She was born late June and started daycare in mid August.

Definitely ASAP, especially since school is starting in a few weeks and teachers are going back to work.

Thanks everyone. I called three today that are really close to home. One is actually having an open house tomorrow morning so we are going to stop in to get a tour. One of them told us to contact them mid September because the new classes will be in session and we can get a better feel of a typical day.
