Need some advice from a 3rd party please :)

Hope you come right Marilu.

Marilu have you looked for daymoms?

I am going to ask around. x

Julz, I also thought that maybe the aircon might be a problem. I've phoned literally each and every creche I could find on the internet, and all of them (in Durbanville/Brackenfell/Eversdal area) have 15babies per class. The creche I found now are the only one that only takes in 8 babies but the room is SMALL. That's why they let the 1-2year olds play with the 2-3year olds..but then there's again 28kids in the room. I really like the idea of the other creche where they can play outside!! Fresh air can only do good right?

Joli I can't find a creche that takes less than 15 babies per class! Only this one creche I found takes in max 8 babies. I give her Creche Guard and Zinplex every day.

Sjoe this is difficult. What about a 3rd creche in the area? Do you give her vitamins everyday?

I won't be happy if my baby never goes outside...........

Maybe the aircon is the problem.

Marilu Dylan goes to a small daycare with 17 kids in total and they keep the babies apart, but Dylan gets to run around with the older kids which is also nice. He gets sick like all kids do but bounces back quickly.

I must also tell you that as they get older they do struggle less. My paed told me that it gets better and it really does. He was at the doc evey month last year and 3 times this year so not too bad.

28 babies is too big though. The creche near me have 6 kids per room only.

I personally think a move to a smaller daycare would be far better and they really do need to play outdoors too which also minimises the risk of illness. Open areas are safer. Also consider that a move at a younger age is easier.

Hi there

I'm struggling with a decision to make and I need an outsider's advice or input. This is going to be a looong story but please bare with me

My baby (almost 1year old) is sick ALOT with constant ear infections. She's currently in a creche in a class of 28babies (it's 'split' up in crawlers and babies so that the two can't get together but it's still in the same room. The crawlers are 16babies). So now the ENT told me that unless I put her in a smaller daycare/take her out of the creche she is going to keep getting sick.

I found another creche that only takes in 8babies/class. BUT sometimes they let the 1-2year olds play together with the 2-3year olds (21 in the class) in a huge classroom.

Now I'm not sure if I should move her to this creche and wether it's going to help or not. I like her current creche cause they have aircon, the classroom is nice and big, but the babies never play outside seen as they are on the first floor.

The other creche has a nice playarea outside for the smaller kids, but the classroom is way smaller and they don't have aircon.

So now I have to make the decision to either move her to then new creche, or leave her at the current creche and I really don't know what to do. She loves the teacher that she's with at the moment, but I'm not too happy about hygiene in that creche but now I'm not sure wether the new creche will be any better?

PLEASE HELP!! I need to make a decision by tomorrow and I'm so scared I'll make the wrong decision. What if Mignione still get sick alot in the new creche and hates it there??
