[quote=Anonymous]OP,

You may want to look into getting a nanny.  Our oldest child was a pretty demanding baby.  She did require a lot more rocking initially and would cry as a newborn whenever she wet her diaper.  I was a bit worried when my maternity leave ended that she would be ignored at day care b/c of her demanding nature.  We ended up getting a nanny before that happened only b/c we needed someone to help out part time (I had to exclusively pump and needed a few hours of help during the day so i could pump).  Eventually, DD got into an established routine and didn't require rocking for naps.

Our second baby is very mellow and easy going.  He automatically goes to sleep while drowsy at 11 weeks and I could see that he would have no issues w/ day care.

The only other thing though is that your child does sound on the older side so it may be that much harder to break these habits.  If you can find a day care/home care provider who is willing to tough it out until DC gets used to day care, then maybe you should stick it out.  By the time my child was about 15 months I could see the benefits of the socialization (hence she's starting PT preschool this fall at 2.5 and we're keeping the nanny since we now have 2 kids).
