Researches in Day Care and Baby Psychology shows that as an alternative to a daycare centre, an increasingly popular option is that of in-home childcare. This option has benefits of :
* Less number of Babies . This can contribute to lowering babies' stress levels.
* Babies having a significant relationship with only one, consistent, adult.
* Having less noise in the environment.
* Having fewer children to interact with.
* Adhering to your child's individual sleep and feeding routines more easily than in a large group setting.

Advice for parents for optimal care and balanced psychological development is :

1. If you can, have one parent stay home with baby for as long as possible. Don't let your mind, and some sectors of society, trick you into thinking that this is a poor choice. This is the optimal choice for your baby. 
Opt a In home day care which provides custom fee options for shorter duration of In home day care.

2. If you must return to work, choose your daycare very carefully; research all the options; start slowly, and introduce your baby very slowly and carefully to their new carers. Opt for the best-quality care you can afford, for the fewest hours per day, and aim for consistent, caring caregivers. Fewer caregivers, and fewer children, is generally better.
