I'll be sending my LO to infant care next month and I keep feeling guilty for not being able to be his main caregiver .. My Lo will be 7 months and he can't crawl on hands and knees yet .. Can Sit unsupported for quite a while (sometimes will Humpty Dumpty) .. I am worried that if he can't walk yet , how will he be cared for in the infant care? Can mommies pls share with me ? TIA !

My best friend sent her son to infant care after 4 months as her maternity leave had ended. As most infant cares take in babies as young as 2 months, the caregivers are trained to interact and care for babies of different ages. At 4 months, there was not much my friend's baby could do either -- not even sit up or crawl. According to my friend, younger babies would usually be placed in cribs or laid out on the playmat/mattresses and the caregiver will interact with them. I also saw pictures of babies in playseats as well as sitting up, supported by the caregivers. (picture from Google)
