[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP -- please ignore the rants on here. So, does your child take the bottle or no? At nine months, if she takes the bottle she'll be given a bottle before naptime and then put in the crib. They will let her cry, unfortunately, for however long THEY deem is reasonable. As some on here have said, she will learn there are different rules at daycare and at home. [/quote]

Our daycare never let the kids cry in their cribs--they weren't even allowed to leave the kids in the cribs when they were awake.  They also worked really hard to get the babies to fall asleep--rocking, singing, feeding, swaddling.  I used to go nurse my baby on my lunch hour and I would see their efforts to get the babies to nap.  My kid didn't nap well in the infant room, but it wasn't for their lack of trying.  She was just a really alert, observant baby, and if there was anything going on around her at all, she wanted to see.  She's still that way as a toddler, but she does nap better now that the kids all nap at the same time.  [/quote]

If you think they come in a swoop your child out of the crib as soon as their awake or don't put them in their cribs awake for naps (but rather rock them to sleep every time) you're delusional. And it's not a good or bad daycare. They just don't have the time to do that for every child. They might have been putting on a show when you were there. [/quote]

Well, it it was a show, they kept it up for an hour every day for six months, which seems like a lot of work, and the effect was the same as if they really did it, I suppose.[/quote]
