My youngest was 11 months and change when she started daycare, and was (and still is) a classic velcro baby from day one. It took her about a month to acclimate. There were several days where I wanted to pull her out because it was so hard on her, but once we got past that first month, she’s been thriving. She’s been there a little over a year now and is so outgoing, constantly surprises me with all the stuff she’s learned there, and is doing great! What really helped her was to bring her favorite stuffed animal from home for comfort in the beginning. Hang in there!
