Hi cookie,
I agree with Queen. There are many things to consider.
1) Not too sure about IFC but in childcare, say if your child is sick, you have to take leave to look after your child cos they are not allow at CC.
2) Child is more prone to germs etc cos more exposure when in IFC.
3) Nothing beats the care of people who love Kaelyn whole heartedly.
I personally thank God that my mum is able to look after my gals. Everynight after work, i am able to return home and enjoy dinner cos my gals are already fed, bath.... My friend who's children is with CC and nanny, had to bring them home, feed them dinner, then have dinner herself.
Sometimes if i need to work late etc, just a phone call to my mum and i know my children will be well taken care of.
If your MIL is willing to look after Kaelyn, maybe just bear with her nagging.... I reckon they don;t like to be asked about what time they feed, change etc.... i left a book for my mum to record the feeding time etc but it didn;t work at all. So our practice is that i asked her about the last feed at what time so i know how to gauge when i take over
I mentioned earlier on, my gals don;t like porridge. When with my elder gal, i even question in my heart that my mum is lazy to cook porridge for my gal..........i was worried about my gal - whether she will be malnutrition, have gastric pain etc but no
She's eating well now and is not fussy about food (except that she still dislike porridge). Her weight is 4kg heavier than kids her age -18kg for a 3 year old. ha Ha. NOW i am worried that she gets too big. Ha Ha
