Hi everyone! I found this site a couple of weeks ago and have been looking around for all kinds of advice. I am new to the home daycare thing but I have been a teacher for a number of years, however we recently moved provinces and when we did, I changed careers.

My question is I just started a little guy (16mos) who has NEVER been away from mom and dad. He screams all day (so much that he makes himself gag on a regular basis). I can't hold him or sit with him without him screaming. It doesn't matter what I do. This is only his second day so I know I have to give it time, but just thought I would ask for advice.

The other thing is that he does not eat food, he gets formula bottles every three hours. I find this strange at 16 months, but I haven't had this age around the house for a while. Yesterday, he didn't nap AT ALL and he wouldn't take a bottle from me. So by the end of the day, we were all exhausted (myself, my son and my two other dc kids).

Any advice? Thanks for listening!
