Nope no rocking here either ... if they sent you a long list of requests then are just that "requests" which means you can say "no sorry thats not conducive to group care ...if all this needs to be done then you should start interviewing nannies." they need to adjust the childs schedule to your schedule ...this is a typical beginner mistake and i think i made the same one by agreeing to something that i didnt want to carry on with ...you will just have to tell them that you tried the rocking and you didnt realize it was going to be so time intensive and its not going to work for group care so they need to start getting her to sleep without rocking. something tells me you wont have this family for long
