New mom and caregiver - advice needed

[Judy Trickett]

Yep, Kingstons mom is correct. This kid needs a playmate. Contrary to how it sounds it is actually easier to care for MORE children than it is for less. If you have three or four other kids then they self-entertain or entertain eachother. I personally cringe if I know there is a slow day with just one child because it is WAY more work for me.

This is why I like to be full with 5 kids who are all about 6 mths apart. So, I like to have a 12mth old, 18 mth old, 2 yr old, 2.5 yr old and a 3 yr old in care. That way there are always two friends within six months of their age to play with.
