    The mom is mostly just worried that the child is not getting enough nutrition because she's always too busy to eat and her teeth/gums have been bothering her so she feels this is the only way she'll get enough nutrition. I think I'll just reassure her that the power of social eating will encourage her to eat when the other children eat that she'll end up eating enough. And also tell her that it's up to her wether she wants to wean her from the the bottle in bed before she starts daycare or when she starts because I won't put her to bed with a bottle. She's aware that my wait list is a long one so she can decide if the power struggle is worth it or not. I need her to respect me and my day home.

    So she's not even in care yet?! And she's trying to negotiate with you!?

    I wouldn't take her on if you have a waiting list....NEXT!

    YIKES! If I had a waiting list I would not be putting in this much effort for this woman. I'm also guessing that if she's fighting this hard for it this early on in the game - that not many other providers she may have looked into allowed bottle to bed either!

A few tips...

Always ensure that your child receives quality care by taking the time to investigate the provider and by asking for references! We simply cannot verify the claims of every daycare provider.
