Depends on your finances and how comfortable you are with a maid staying together. First year is very precious as you learn how to bond with each other, get used to feeding habits etc. Staying at home ensures that you can easily breastfeed her when necessary, attend to her needs, hear her cries and giggles, see how she grows stronger each day... Allows you to capture all her first - time movements and activities. They're very beautiful memories :)
