Since it pertains to daycare, I thought I'd add another question to this thread if no one minds.
I have a 1 year old and a 4 year old who will be going to the daycare across the street from my school. My 4 year old started preschool last year, and he was sick on average about 3 times last winter. I've never had a baby in daycare, so this will be a first for my 1 year old. For those of you will small kids in full time, how often did they get sick? The attendance policy at my school is strict, and I'm wondering how much I will expect to miss? They both start full time in Feb, I'm sure next winter is when I'll have to deal with the illnesses, especially with the baby since my 4 year old has pretty much built up a lot of immunities already.
My husband will be able to use his vacation days if they are sick a lot, which is nice, but I'm just worried that my baby is going to be sick a lot in that setting. BTW, I will be nursing him through this too, I'm wondering if he will be sick less because of that. Would love to hear everyone's experiences with kids/daycare/illness. Thanks!

I've noticed that most clinicals start really early. What do you do if you have a small child whos daycare doesn't open at 4am? What time were your clinicals (6-??? etc...) I'm unfamiliar with how clinicals are scheduled. Can anyone shed any light?
Thanks a bunch,
