I would never call for this.

Likewise, I would not pick up just because they crying. Instead I make sure lot of close interaction, without picking up. Lot of change activities to occupy. Lot of texture play like sand, play dough. Keep busy. I have had many cry for week or so but after third day, it less frequent and by second week, much better. It big adjustment. Different house. No Mommy. Group care. Huge difference. But I send child firm message from get go that I not carrying around just because they wish for. I not able to carry all, or multiples so I not set myself up for that. Unless child hurt, or ill, I only cuddle when reading time or playing. Lot of time for love but can't be on demand or to pacify because sooner or later, child need to not be picked up constantly.
