I've gotta think that daycare for infants is different than daycare for toddlers; if you go searching for advice, make sure you note the distinction. I don't have any experience with the former (I had the luxury of being underemployed when M was a baby), but I would guess that you want the baby to have a lot of physical contact and interaction, not just when they cry. So definitely as few kids as you can afford. A nanny would be ideal, but is expensive of course-- although you could do a mix of daycare and nanny. Not that babies in daycares grow up to be axe murderers or anything, but a baby who feels secure is less likely to develop anxiety issues, and can be more difficult to handle. (This is completely unscientific guesswork on my part, mind you.)
You will be carrying a lot of stuff, including the baby, so by all means make the travel as easy as possible. A baby sling would make the T easier; if you prefer a stroller, check out the nearest T station and imagine hauling a stroller to the platform and onto the train.
