New DCG is 12 months (almost 13). Mom told me to begin with that she co sleeps with her because she needs her sleep and she can't take the screaming. She is right about the screaming, DCG jumped up and down in the PNP and screamed for an hour and a half yesterday. When I would go lay her back down and talk to her she would quit, but as soon as I walked away it would start again. Yesterday was only day two, but do I have any chance of success here?
Next two problems, DCG still on bottle at home, I told mom not to bring one here, I don't offer bottles over 12 months unless medically needed. This girl will drink out of a sippy cup IF I hold it for her, she will make no attempt to even hold it herself. She will pick it up by the rim with one hand and hand it to me for me to give her a drink. And she has no clue how to feed herself. Yesterday I had to teach her to feed herself cheerios.
I really need to keep this family at least until I can get another family. But it is like having a 3 month old that walks. Any advice very much appreciated.
