Partner's leave ends in July. How early did you start looking for a full-time caregiver?

4on Three weeks of clean tiffin boxes, and today I saw where the food goes
This is excellent. Our daughter is six months old, so I'm reading it as a preview. I admire the efficiency of the arrangement more than I should.

Mine is five months old and already tries to eat every receipt I hold. I can see where this is going.

Something to look forward to. Ours has exactly one response to the doorbell so far, which is to wake up screaming.
That's useful. I've been staying out of it with my partner's mother, thinking it would look like taking sides. Maybe that's exactly what's needed.
Our daughter is just over a month and her 6-week vaccines are due early next month. I hadn't thought about who holds her until this thread. Noting the advice about sitting down from the start. I suspect I will need it as well.

Two no-shows is useful to know, I'd have taken the first yes and stopped looking. So early June to start, and plan for a second round. Did the two weeks of overlap feel long for her, with a parent at home the whole time?
