Daycare guilt

How do you guys deal with daycare guilt?

(If you don’t feel bad about it then great, but I do)

My son starts daycare next week and will be there Monday- Friday from like 6-6.

I feel so bad about it, I can’t think about it without crying. I feel like I’m throwing him to someone else or neglecting him. He goes to bed between 7-8 so I will get hardly any time with him at all...he’s going to be with someone other tHan a parent literally more than he will be with me. He’s 15 months old and I’ve been able to be with him until now, I always wanted to stay home until he was in school but now things have changed and I can’t. I’m so stressed out about if the daycare is good enough, he doesn’t talk so he can’t tell me if somethings wrong, he doesn’t eat people food (he’s in food therapy just doesn’t like it) so what if they don’t feed him right and he’s hungry? Or another kid hurts him. It’s so stressful and I hate it 😭😭
