How To Sleep Train, Self Soothe At Daycare?

[Luvnmykidz]

I have a 5 month old that has been with me for a little over a month for two days a week. Last week he began full time. Mom stated she is comfortable with him being here and changed her status to full time. Anyways a little background on dcb: he is breastfed at home and she offers two bottles of formula a day. He is bottle fed formula only here (moms choice to not pump). He co-sleeps with mom. She carries him around the house in his infant seat during the day whenever he gets fussy or she holds him constantly when her hands are free. He is nursed to sleep and only sleeps max 20 minutes if mom isn't laying with him.
Fast forward to now. I had issues with him eating sleeping and playing. Mom has worked on the bottle issue and that has resolved. He still doesn't do anything other than cry if hes not being held or I'm not in his face. Mom stated yesterday that she is aware she has created a problem for him me and my other dck"s and shes sorry and wants to fix it. She specifically asked about appropriate practices for self soothing, sleep training and CIO. I never really had to do CIO with my kids as they slept alone from day one. I nursed them and placed them back in their crib. Please help me to help her. Here I lay him down and tell him hes fine. He screams and I've been going back and trying to help calm him. When I leave his pnp hes even more upset. If I just let him cry and stay where he can hear me and not see me he still cries but its not hysterical like when he sees me. He eventually falls asleep but only 20-30 minutes and he still whines during his sleep. Mom stated he does this at home as well. She wants him to stay here and knows Im not willing to keep him if we can not fix this as its unfair to all involved especially the baby. Thanks ladies for all of your help once again.

Hmm, I guess it depends on how many other kids you have, and if you have the time to dedicate to this child- it's going to take a lot lf time and patience, and you probably will have to sit next to the pack and play- I had to do this once with a dcb, but my numbers were low, so I could. Mom needs a daycare boot camp to stop holding baby, and make life easier on you!

Currently my ratio is dcb (5 months) M-F Dcg(9 months) M-F Dcg (2 yrs) T-Th and my ds(5 yrs ) I also have my 2 dd's (7 and 11). I'm willing to try it in hopes of improvement and mom seems like she's on board.

There is a book called Happiest Baby On The Block but some parents are really not fans of this approach. I have friends who've used it and are very happy with its success. She needs to do it NOW or it's only going to get worse. He's still in a moldable age and is able to be sleep trained at this age but it's not going to be a fun first week or two for either of you.

I cosleep/slept with my youngest two and I will admit, it's NOT for everyone. My DS sleeps okay now, but it was not easy to get him to bed for a long time. He still won't just lay down and go to bed on his own at 2.5. If I could go back and undo what I did I would, but I really can't or I guess don't know how to at this stage.

I have a 9 month old baby starting on July 7th who is BF and cosleeps and mom said she knows it will be hard to change what she's done but is willing to work with me on what works best for everyone. I told her we will see how it goes and work on it! If she absolutely will not sleep and mom isn't going to work on sleep training at home, we will have to go down that road when we get there. I'm really hoping a good routine and being here FT from the get go will help her. They're going out of town all week this week and she's coming half a day next Thurs (I'm closed Fri) and then starts FT on Monday. I'm a little worried myself
