[quote=Anonymous]Give it a little time, but this wasn't my experience in my larger center. Babies were always held and while yes, sometimes they'd be put in bouncers or seats as they got older, those seats and bouncers would be placed in a circle so that the babies could see the caregiver and other babies while the caregivers were feeding another baby. Even if they couldnt immediately get to a fussy baby, I would hear them make reassuring noises and they would always get to them to comfort them. The infant room was always near the front desk, so if they got too many fussing at once, they'd stick a head out and call in reinforcements. You would often see the infant coordinator holding a baby.

How old are all the babies in the room, though? There's just so much you can do with a room of three month olds. But the ones who are at least six months, they should be interacted with and not just left. I didn't start my son in a center until he was eight months old due to timing in the year, and when he was three months he was in a home daycare that only had two babies. You might want to check out other centers for the long term and get on their waiting lists, and find a home caregiver for the infant year.[/quote]
