If you want to do it then go right ahead!
My DD has been going to childcare since she was 6 months old. She started on one day a week, then after she was about 16 months we put her in for another day.
She absolutely loves it. Back then she was an only child and I'm not a fan of playgroups, so we decided to put her into childcare - she gets to interact with kids her own age and she learns heaps there.
We've put DS on the waiting list and he'll start one day a week when he's around 6-8 months. (on one of the days she goes too, so I get a whole day to myself!)
So what if people think it's selfish.. I can get sooooo much more done when she's not here. Plus I get time to spend solely on DS. And I get ME time, which is very important.
Do what you want to do. I don't think it's selfish..
