Do you think it's too disruptive to move a baby around to different care?

He's been at this daycare since the day I went back to work, so almost 5 months. We are not happy with it there anymore and looking to switch him. But every place is wait listed. There's an awesome place that can get us in around June so we're definitely going to do that. But in the meantime....I can piece together 2 different places for him to go. One is M/W/F available, the other is T/TH available. DH kind of thinks it will be too much on him to get used to 2 new places, then another come June. We might as well just leave him where he is and make the switch in June. What do you think?

If you're unhappy bc of lack of care, safety issues, etc then I think then moving him now and again in June is worth it.
If it's just a general dislike then I say stick it out until June. Especially since the intermittent care isn't 5x/week. Having the weekly adjust to two different caregivers and again in June might be a lot.
Good luck with whatever decision you decide.

I know your back story here.

I, also, think that jumping him around like that would be a lot. However, it isn't that much different than the schedule my own kid had to get used to when I went back to work. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday at daycare; Thursday with a nanny; Saturday and Sunday with us. She adjusted with time.

I think you do what you have to do.

I also read the thread on parenting. I don't know if there is a solution that is going to be "easiest". Yes, it may be hard for him to adjust to the changes, but you need to think about if you really do trust the care he is receiving currently. If you do, then leave him until June. But, if you're going to really worry about him at the current place, I'd make the switch now. Maybe you can try contacting the June place soon to see if they can get you in any sooner?

Thanks ladies

I would move them if you are unhappy with the current care for whatever reason. I think babies adapt to changing situations fairly quickly.
