Infant care
Mummies i need some opinion. Do you guys send ur baby to IFC? If yes starting which month? And what is the pro n cons? Hearsay baby easily falls sick ah.. and what to ask when i go for school tour? Thinking to send my LO there when she is 4m (after ml ends) as no one can help us take care of her in the day. When we wfh then we wont send bb to ifc

Hi mummy, I was a Principal and can give you some info. Sadly the infection rate among babies is high because of their low immune system and the fact that they are all in a small environment for more than 10 hours a day. Honestly your baby might just attend school half the time because some centres are quite strict especially when they see babies with runny nose, etc. Maybe some things you can look out for is that the centre has cctv that covers every corner (except for the shower area), speak to the principal and get a sense on how she is, watch the interactions between teacher and child. You can ask them about wht they do when a disease spreads - their protocol. Best to find a well ventilated Centre with windows or opportunities for them to go outdoors often to build up their immune system. Also better to find a place close to home or close to emergency contacts in case your baby needs to be picked up in the middle of the day.
