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?

Choose your friends by their character and your socks by their color. Choosing your socks by their character makes no sense and choosing your friends by their color is unthinkable.

My DS1 was breastfed for six weeks. He'll need braces because his teeth are too big and his mouth is too small. DS2 was FF and will most likely not need braces. My niece was BF for 3 months and needed full braces because she sucked her thumb. It made her bottom teeth go in and her top teeth protrude.
If Mom has to pop in twice a day to be comfy with the care, that about defines the quality of care. As not too darn good. No, the minds of wohms is not only on their children while at work. But consider. While you figured your daughter could do a good enough job of looking after a baby in her "spare" time while persuing full time university studies - my employer would be very worried about the level of attention I could give to my job, were I to try and fit it in between fulltime university studies. I'd be seriously discouraged from trying that one on.
That's just plain sad.
