Personally, I think parental leave should cover the transition period as well to deal with the sicknesses, figuring our your new logistics, things like that.

Love that idea. Our son started daycare a year ago and it was only around late August that we noticed we were finally all feeling fairly healthy for two straight weeks. I started a new job 5 months after he started at daycare and have had to take more sick days, both from him being sick as well as myself, than I think I've taken in the past 10 years combined.
