[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 worry about this comment.  I would never trust a "good nanny" where there are no eyes on what she is doing for the baby, no breaks, etc.  At a good daycare facility, they will have extra hands/arms to help out when the babies are crying.  At my center, I've seen the director sitting in a rocking chair comforting a crying baby.  Although the ratio in many areas is 4:1, I've always seen many extra helpers come in/out and rock babies to sleep.  Our nursery is right up front in the facility, and doesn't have swings/bouncers just rocking chairs and gliders.  Every parent in/out of the facility can see what is going on, and I've found the women that work in the newborn nursery LOVE those babies and are really experts on getting them to sleep. [/quote]

+1. Our center is amazing. [/quote]
