Hi all,

I've been watching these forums for quite a while and have learned a great deal from them. I was hoping you all could provide me with a bit of advice.

I have started a small dayhome and had my first child (9 month old girl) start today. She did pretty well - didn't cry when mom dropped her off, was happy all day, played well with my son, ate well. The only issue is that it took over an hour of rocking her to get her to nap and even then, she only napped for a half hour. According to her mom, it is typical for her to take this long to fall asleep. Her parents do not want her to cry it out; they insist that she must be rocked to sleep.

Fortunately, my hubby was home today so he tended to my son while I was rocking her but how do I make this work while still tending to my son (and eventually other children)? I have an interview tomorrow to fill my last two spots and am wondering if I should cancel until I know what's going on with current DCG.

Thanks in advance. :-)
