hi everyone..
I'm taking on two babies this week.. one has had settling in and is 7 months old and I think will settle pretty good.
The other is 11 months old and I slightly concerned with this one.. we've had 3 settling in sessions.. first mum stayed.. 2nd mum left for 45 mins but mindee was upset most of this so we just couldn't continue.. and 3rd session mindee was upset but settled for more time and then got upset again.. the mindee was with me on own for around 1 & half hours this time (but I had no time for any other children in my setting as she was soo sensitive).. mum hasn't started weaning baby onto a bottle yet which I was only told after I'd tried to bottle feed lil one and all the mindee did was try grabbling at my top .. upon asking mum she said that the mindee wasn't accept the bottle properly at the mo so she would just revert to breast feeding...
I've suggested that she may like to spend sometime weaning her before she starts properly as I'd hate the mindee to be distressed about taking a bottle as well as never being left with anyone outside her own home.
I'm a lil worried and want everything to work well... please can you guys give me advice on the best way forward to help this lil one settle .. at the moment she cries and then cries even more if she is put down...
I'd really appreciate some advice.. also in your experiences when would you call parents to collect is still not settling after her next 2 settling in sessions.. and also is there a point when you would cancel the contract if not settling .. xx:panic: :)
