i fDay care throughout the first year of life has been shown in studies to have negative long-term effect on the developing infant. It also depends on the potential negative impacts of day care on child development, which can be damaging to their development if low-quality day care facilities fail to meet each infant's physiological, social, emotional, and cognitive needs. It's much more challenging for newborn caregivers to choose whether or not day care is the best option for their child.
