I resigned from my job after I've given birth to my LO. Now he is 17 months old n my mil kept asking me to send him to Childcare cos she said LO when being taken care by me learns n develops v slow .. e.g. Still can't self feed using spoon, can't speak many words yet. Etc .. I'm feeling v sad .. Did I do anything wrong by wanting to take care of my LO until 3 then send him to Childcare b4 I return back to work ? Sigh .. :(

My child is 2 years .... only started to really feed himself using spoon but sometimes use hands. I think it's fine. Just read more to him and talk more to him - he will pick up words naturally. Childcare not necessarily good as the children don't have 1-1 attention of the Teachers. Isn't it better to have his full mother's attention?
