Don’t you think you are painting with a rather broad brush here? Life situations can change sometimes...We don’t know the circumstances of the mom and her family...Frankly, some moms have to work...What if the baby was a surprise blessing??? Would it not be better to have the baby in daycare and work it out rather than decide baby is is inconvenient mistake like Obama would say...:(

I think the mom exercised reasonable judgement by taking her baby to a highly rated daycare. Perhaps she should have reported the daycare worker’s odd suggestion to the supervisor, but as a first-time mom, maybe she just did not see the red flag on that.

I stayed home with my 3; however, there were times when I took one or both to part-time daycare for my appointments, etc... We moved frequently, so we did not have lots of dear, close friends or family upon whom to rely. It is called life, and I would have been mortified had some woman breastfed my child. I checked the daycare centers out and thought they were good—often church related. Luckily no problems.

My son was in grad school—finishing his PhD took forever. His wife felt it was time to have children; being a PA, she knows the ramifications of birth after 30. Soo yeah, they had a baby.

She was the breadwinner and made good money tho she had sizeable student loans. Sooo for a short period of time, baby was in daycare...until son finished...Mom is home now with her 2 children~third due any day :) These days, it is difficult to be stay at home mom~they are lucky, though they likely still have some debt.

Fact that a mom has to work and trust child to another does not mean they are not a good mom, don’t love their children, or that it would be OK for child to be breastfed by a daycare worker.

Just saying.
