Expectant Mothers

How do I choose a caregiver for my baby?

Choose a care provider who is comfortable caring for breastfed babies, and who you trust. Ask whether your state licenses child care providers and if they have a review process. Often, state and local government will have a list of certified child care providers.  Do your homework online too.  If it is a more structured day care facility they will likely have a website to review the facilities and offerings.  Many daycares are now providing internet cameras so you can see your baby throughout the day.  By choosing a caregiver near your workplace, you can visit your baby and breastfeed at lunch.
