Hb and I decided to enrol Amadeus into a childcare before I gave birth to my 2nd boy, Andre. This is to enable me to have some free time to take care of Andre and also to let Amadeus be more independent and to learn more skills over there.
For the 1st day, he was ok as I was with him throughout. For the 2nd day, I left at about 10am and he cried till very badly n refused to eat his lunch. 3rd day, I stayed briefly and he cried on n off but he managed to participate in some of the activities. Again, he refused to eat his lunch as I was not there to feed him.
On the 4th day, something happened (long story) and we decided to pull Amadeus out of the childcare. And for 2-3 nites, he will wake up in the middle of the nite to cry. Guess he must be very traumatised by the whole experience.
Nevertheless, we will still be on the lookout for another childcare or playgroup for him to go to before the arrival of his lil bro.
