[quote=Anonymous]It's not necessarily normal for a provider to give up after 5 days - that's the minimum amount of time it takes for a baby to adjust, IME. She may have been less patient with your family because you're a part time client rather than full time.  Please don't take the nanny comment to heart - that's what any DCP says when they don't want to accommodate you. I've had providers say that to me because we use cloth diapers - plenty of providers accept cloth, but those who don't try to convince me only a nanny would do that. Not really worth engaging when a DCP pulls that card on you, IMO.

I wouldn't question your parenting decisions just because the transition wasn't smooth after 1 week - we had a 15-20 minute nap routine with our daughter that no DCP would have been able to replicate, but after a week our DD adjusted to the DCP's nap routine. The fact that yours wouldn't give it another week just says that she didn't really need or want your business. Maybe some one else came along looking for fill a full time spot. I would just look for some one else - I'm sure the next one will be a better match. [/quote]
