[QUOTE=playfelt;11916]If he is attempting to make contact with you then half the battle is won - not that that is much comfort. He is used to someone/anyone dealing with him. He may not have been cared for by anyone else but if the parents have frequent visitors over or go to visit friends often then he is used to being around other people.

It actually takes some children the first month before they are brave enough/secure enough to venture after the caregiver rather than expect the caregiver to come to them. Let him catch up to you as often as you can. Acknowledge him by talking to him, use his name often but don't feel you have to pick him up. He will learn to be content beside you not on you. When he learns to walk it will go better because he will be faster so can just tag along with you.

That just made me feel a WHOLE lot better.

Do you think I should keep my son here on the other boy's first full day or should I send him to my mom's?
