How young is too young?daycare?

If you have a career and you had a baby what age would you think is apropriate to send your child to daycare/dayhome after they were born?
I have a friend that is a dayhome provider, she has 10mnth old twins and she was provinding care for a 2yr old. Mom of the 2yr old just had a baby and she was back to work when baby was 4days old, in my friends care. It is only half days now, but she is soon going to be full time, the baby is almost 5wks. Thoughts?

See . . .I've been lucky enough or smart enough (depending upon your perspective) to find others who had a long term vested interest in my children to be part of the 'child rearing team'. . .some of whom happened to be their child care providers.
And I disagree with you that children ONLY need parents.
I'm not going to argue with you that different muscles are exercised during breastfeeding, but to contend that there are whole generations out ther walking around with malformed jaws is a bit extreme.
Now care to address your contention that only bottlefeeding causes tooth decay?
all you say is probably true to a degree but society falls to hard, hook, line and sinker when it should be taken as informational and with a grain of salt. its nothing but a scare tactic by militant breast feeding advocates to new moms.
AND i repeat. ITS A CRAP SHOOT!
I don't understand your agenda. Are you trying to convince people that BFng is better? If so, then there are better ways to do it. Are you trying to convince people that BFng definitely is better in terms to jaw development? Then your "data" isn't data. Besides, why would you try to convince people of this? Is it *that* important to you?

Excuse me, but isn't your daughter in school being taught by a teacher other than you (of course when you volunteer, yada yada yada) but still being TAUGHT by someone else than yourself.
