Yes, that's what I always do when people call me for daycare and their little ones are around 8 or 9 months of age, but this one called one week before her return to work so it's been really tough on the little guy. I did tell her she had to get a play pen and start putting him in it as well as to stop holding him all the time and also that she had to leave the room for a few minutes, come back in and repeat so he gets to know that mom or I will leave from time to time, but we come back. He has never napped here before, only done a couple 1/2 days but today is his first full day so I'm hoping he goes down and sleeps for a while, LOL. wish me luck
