I’m getting really discouraged by the process of finding a daycare. Currently 32w pregnant and it’s crazy to me that literally no daycare I’ve spoken to can speak to availabilities in the Spring. It’s nothing but waitlists. Should I have started looking sooner? Starting to get worried that my maternity leave will and and we will still have zero plan on how to get childcare.

I’m insane and starting looking a year out and that seemed to be the trick.

Now we’re planning on moving in 18 months and I’m trying to figure out when I need to reach out to daycares in the new area.

Unfortunately you should have started looking sooner (agree with other poster, we’re currently on a wait list for our second and it will be ~12 months), but no use in harping on that because you can’t change it. Join local moms groups and sitters groups on facebook so you can start to get a sense of nanny availability and some other options.

I had gone someplace at 23 weeks and was told I was too early. Some places I started a bit earlier, but it hasn’t seemed to matter. This is my first kid - so idk how they expect people to know how to plan that far out for daycare when they a) don’t know what they’re doing b) have to research literally every aspect of having a kid and c) don’t usually tell people they are pregnant until 12-20w. What a maddening process.
