[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The problem with daycare is that there may be only one adult per four infants so it is tougher to dole out individual attention if all the babies are crying at the same time.

I don't know your finances, but is there any way you can hire a provider to come into your home and care for your baby vs. him staying in a daycare? A good nanny will be able to work with you on establishing good sleeping habits. :)[/quote]

OP, don't let people like this make you nervous. I am sure your baby's teachers will be extremely attentive during the initial adjustment period and will work through any and all sleep issues your baby might have. Really. [/quote]
Apparently you've never been responsible for three babies at once. Lots of crying while each one awaits to get the needed care most of them are used to at home.

Just a little reality check.[/quote]

I really disagree with this comment - at good daycare facilities - they do not let this happen.  Does it happen at some? I imagine so.  Do nannies text and talk to their boyfriends and ignore a crying baby - I'm sure that happens to.  Most of the larger facilities are set-up where there are multiple extra teachers that rotate through the infant rooms to help out where needed.  Our facility is like that.  We have a 3:1 ratio with four rotaters over 3 rooms/sections of newborn to one-year-olds.  There may be multiple babies crying at once, but they are all being attending.  It's not like it is one woman stuck in isolation with 3 or 4 babies.  [/quote]
