**As of now he doesnt take a sippy at home so i am pushing this here (just plays with it)
they bring his food (baby food) but he will not eat at our lunch time. (too tired?)

He doesnt have a comfort item, as for the an on the outside? of the room or inside?

as for the 8-815 morning nap are you suggesting my 9am is much too late? We know he will just scream and scream so probably will not nap. I have never had a child that did not have an item (soother, stuffy, blanky)

thanks soo much!!

I'm having my own sleep issues with a 16 month old so i cant offer much there lol. i will say that a 10 month old may have different sleep needs that the older kids but with time and persistance you should be able to get him on the same schedule. as for feeding, i have never had a10 month old who could hold a sippy cup. as for not eating, perhaps he is getting enough from his bottles. is he having bottles every 4 hours or so? my youngest dcg started at 8 months and had formula every 4 hours which i quickly adjusted to match mealtimes as she approached the 10 month mark but she is a good eater at lunch and snack times. you absolutely have to tell parents that if they arent on board with teaching him to soothe himself to sleep it will take a very long time before he'sold enough to understand the difference of being at home and at daycare. its in everyones best interest to be working together, especially the little one.
