I had my first settling in session this morning with a 9.1/2 month old little boy.
Knew it was going to be hard as very clingy with mummy.
He came and happily sat with me and played and smiled for about 30 minutes and then he started crying , he seemed tired so tried to lay him to see if he would go asleep, just clawed at me so put him in his buggy with blanket and he cried for a little while and then went to sleep.
Woke up, happy for a couple of minutes then started crying again so did his bottle that mum supplied, started feeding him and was leaking everywhere, took lid off and it was all broken inside, tried my best but he got soaked even with a bib on. Looked in bag for change of clothes and nothing.
After that thought Id change his bum and all that was in his bag was pull ups, bit strange for a baby. Took old one and hes got terrible nappy rash and no cream in bag.
I think its going to be a bit of a struggle, mums very young. Dont want to bombard her with lots of things i need so I think im going to be off out this weekend to get some spares in like bottles, clothes and cream.
Another settling in session next week, wish me luck:)
