Infant Advice...Please Help!

Wow. I am glad to read this. I am a mother to a 4 month old whose daycare provider says she wants to be held all of the time. I don't hold her all day at home. Now that I know someof you are suggesting that a child be left to cry in another room I may think twice about daycare. I understand there are other children but I won't be happy if my child is screaming in the other room. If you don't want to nurture a baby's needs which include being held then don't accept infants. Oh I guess that would affect your annual salary since we do pay more for you to hold them all day.

If you believe your infant should be held all day and that's what you do every spare second you have with them, then stay home with your child and take care of them yourself. OR hire a private nanny with the understanding that she will be attached to your baby while you go about your business.

This provider is asking for advice because she deals with a lot all day. There is a balance that we have to find when caring for multiple children. If you were the parent of one of the reasonable children that she watches, would you be completely understanding that your child gets less attention because of the infant that can't sit in a bouncy chair alone without screaming for 5 minutes?

I can't stand people who pass judgement when they have no idea what they're talking about...

Dammit. I fed the troll.

Shoot me too oh well... Happy Wednesday friends!

To OP I hope you have a better day. I have nothing but infants... I looooove them. I've had a few in the past that have been as you describe and all I can tell you is it will either get better or it won't! I know that's insightful huh?! Lol, I had one dcbaby for 6 months and it never got better so I termed. The baby I have in her place is amazing! Shes sweet and happy and her parents are respectful and understanding! Don't be too hard on yourself
