Hi
I have a new little boy in my daycare, he's just turned one and has never had anyone watch him but his mom/dad, grandparents and a neighbour once in a while. He's been here for 2 days and he just screams for the entire time he is here.
I've held him, rocked him, fed him, played with him, tried just about everything to get him to stop crying and nothing is working.
BTW he's never been in a playpen and that's something I do use in my dc for when I have to leave the room for bathroom breaks, making lunch, snacks etc. He also cannot sleep without being put into this zipped up hammock thingy. It's been a rough couple of days and the other kids are holding their ears he is screaming so loud. Any advice what I can do to help him transition into my daycare and how long do you keep trying before you think, hey this is never going to change This is why with my current daycare parents, once they have a baby, I always request they start bringing them to me at least 3 or 4 months before they go back to work. Start with 1/2 day and work up from there and they have all adapted wonderfully.
This one is pushing my stress level and he's sooo loud, lol.
