I don’t go back to work for another 6 months... but I have secured a nursery position ready for my LO. However I am now second guessing what would be better For her and for my own piece of mind...

Would my LO be better off with a child minder compared to nursery?

Will she be better off at the nursery next door to my job compared to the one close to home (it’s a 40min commute, so she won’t feel close when I’m at work)?

I’m worried she’ll be upset by not having me around too ☹️ I know I’m going to be distraught. I also ebf and she has a melt down whenever I give her a bottle, so I’m worried about many feeding aspects of leaving her too ☹️ especially as I’ve not left her side for more than 30min since she was born.

Just wondering what other people’s preferences are, what you did and why? Hopefully it will put some of my second guessing questions and decisions at ease...
