I have to console the parents too???

[Wonderwiper]

I'm not "strong" enough to leave my babies with a virtual stranger.

I suspect they are texting you as a way to feel close to their children. It makes them feel better to reach out to you and feel like they are still a part of their child's day. You don't have to answer every text.

When I start a new family I let them know they can contact me anytime they like. I tell them I won't always have time to get back to them but will do my best to keep them up to date.

For the first couple of days I send Moms lots of pictures and texts. It usually doesn't take long for them to feel comfortable that their baby is safe and happy and doing ok without them.
