Has anyone kept their older child(ren) in daycare whilst on maternity leave, and how did this work out on your tax return?

My understanding is that you can claim daycare expenses only if the child is in childcare in order for the parent to earn an income, and the lower earning spouse has to claim this expense. So... if you are on a subsequent maternity leave, theoretically you cannot claim daycare expenses for your older child?

Thanks for bringing it up.  I didn't even think of trying to claim it (if possible).
