Hi all,
I've started looking after a 7 month old, its 2 hours first thing, 3 or 4 times a week.
LO was only able to have one settling session because the family was away and missed their flight back.
They've been coming for 2 weeks now, so 6 sessions of less than 2 hours each. And all they've done is scream except once when they seemed happy enough.
They won't take a bottle from me, doesn't matter what I do they don't calm down until they fall asleep from exhaustion, unless I walk about carrying them which obviously I can't do every morning.
I have school children coming for breakfast starting next week and this constant screaming is not going to be a great start to their day.
Obviously I'm not expecting this child to settle immediately. But how long would you give it before assuming they're just not going to settle at all?
Thanks for any suggestions.
