Something daycare does is also teaches mommy not to be so attentive which in turn helps the baby to learn to self soothe. In the sense of a mom with a second baby that is busy feeding the first child when the baby wakes up will likely finish the last few mouthfulls for the toddler and then go get the baby so there is a brief gap of time there. With the first and you are eating lunch you likely put down the food and leave the last few mouthfulls and rush to your baby immediately. The difference is we feel guilty when it is us. With a daycare you need to treat your own child as part of the daycare group and that means sometimes he will cry while you change the diaper of another child. He will learn to self soothe and that is one of the best lessons you can teach your child is that they are competent. Having said that a sling works well and as he grows he will get more into what the others are doing and want down on the floor too.
