Infant care or take care of baby yourself at home (FTM)

Hihi, I'm just wondering if there's any pros/cons in sending a newborn to infant care? Heard the infant care will teach and monitor development. Is that something do-able by yourself? Or will it be too challenging for a FTM? Are there a lot of things to teach a baby? What are the concerns of both options? For mummies who send baby to infant care or is the main caregiver at home, please feel free to share your experience. Thank you so much! #firsttimemom #AskingAsAnewMom #Needadvice

i sent all my 3 kids to IFC at 3mths. even though most say the baby will just lie down there and do nth. but i see that my kids ifc do engage them by reading and sensory play. they will teach and monitor their development. it depends on what you are looking for.. some worry that the child will fall sick but this is inevitable regardless of age. if to ask me to teach them at home, i don’t think i have the mindspace and energy to do it. so i leave it to the school.
