I don't rock kids to sleep, not even my own kids. My kids sleeps thru the night in their own area by 6 months old. The daycare babies are immediately put on a routine at 4 months old and learn to self sooth. I only keep kids that can adjust to what I provide. I do have parents that do something else at home. I don't care what they do at home as long as their child can do my plan here. It is always easier when mom and provider do the same things but it does not have to be that way. I never suggest that parents do my way unless they specifically ask and I am positive they want to know. Otherwise it turns into a confrontation and they will not be receptive to their daycare provider's ideas of not rocking/no co-sleeping/CIO, etc. (especially first time parents with kids under 1 year old)

I had the same exact senario here with a 9 month old. I would suggest asking for moms assistance. I did and she was more than willing to help me out and all is ok now. I think if you explain that the rocking to sleep just doesnt work in group care with x number of kids running around and that her child is missing out, then she should understand.Comment

This baby is just the sweetest little guy. ABSOLUTELY adorable, smiles easily and loves to cuddle... I just need to 'teach' him how to comfort himself and be able to fall asleep on his own. He is full time, here longer than anyone else during the day, so I SHOULD be able to train him. When he does nap, which isn't often, he's SO happy.Comment
