its in my contract that soother and other comfort items are for nap time only .... if the child throws it out of the play pen then it seems they don't want it, i know they are just playing a game to get me to come back, however i don't play games and I also don't go back ..they figure it out pretty quick. put the soother away till nap time if he throws it out leave it out ....let him scream ..put a fan out side the room he sleeps in and after a few days he wont scream anymore ...i would also suggest to mom to have him come full time for a few weeks till he transitions and then remove a day for a few weeks then go back to the three days
