Ohhh.... Well I tell parents before the child starts ( at least a month in advance) to start getting the child to home her own bottle and to make sure the child is using a sippy cup, and on fnger foods, also I tell parents that the child must be able to self sooth as I can not rock or hold while child is sleeping .....the child must be able to go to sleep on their own in a playpen. This will probably be a tough go.... You will have to have a chat with the Parents and tell them to stop holding the child to fall asleep because in group care that's not going to be an option....good luck
