My dd is going to daycare since she is 5 months old, but to an indian who was just taking care of 2 kids at her home including my dd, she was fine from first day itseld bcoz she was v. small, & she was very friends baby all the time. she didn't seem to have seperation separation anxiety at all. Later when she was 10 months old, i put her with different indian lady who had a daughter herself who was 1.5 yrs elder mine, there too she used to be so happy all the time playing with that big girl, she infact refuses to come home in evening, but after coming from India & in this new job, i am sending her to a daycare run by Americans, here she feels that\" separation anxiety\" she is not happy to go ther, she cries or make unhappy face whe i leave her there & go, but her teacher says that she will be fine playing withother kids soon after i leave. she wouldn't eat well as she was doing at home bcoz they won't feed her, you should be ready for all prob related to germs like cold , cough even to fever, in my case no ther alternative for me. i feel bad that i make her suffer that too. , i infact started my career when she was just 2 months old & worked 13 hours & plus 3 hours on road, i had all that bad expe, i am happy now that i have overcome all that now have a comfartable 8 hours less stressful job,but as you said \" when it comes in starting our career we need to sacrifice on those things\" , i donn't have any regrets for the past , so happy as i am . I am sure your dd will be fine, its just a matter of couple of initial days

Good luck

Roopa
