How much do others here pay for daycare? I'm hearing that it costs $250-300+ a week Are there more affordable options? :/

Grandparents.

Linky with some rough costs

So it all depends on how long the kid is at the day care. (But roughly, 8 hours a day, 5 days a week = $300)

Centrelink does come into it at some point but i'm not sure who's entitled to that.

That sounds about right to me- and yeah Grandparents if you have them nearby.

Perhaps you might be able to find a family daycare arrangement for a bit cheaper.

A big congratulations to Jaydisc on the birth of his daughter!

It was a tough labour, but Jay got through it with medicinals and dreams of the TFs he won't be able to buy for a while.

We pay $80 for 2 days, meals included. Depends on where you live i suppose. Metro will probably be more expensive then country areas.

For anyone interested in finding BPA-free bottles, Tommee Tippee reports that they've been selling BPA-free bottles since July 2009.

My three year old wants a Pinky Ponk from in the night garden. It's the only thing that he'll trade the"dummy fairy" for his dummies. Only problem is I can't find one.
