[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][twitter][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I used to babysit newborns when I was a teen. I remember having a baby who would not stop crying no matter what I did. I ended up just putting her in the crib and standing there staring at her. I would never ever have done anything harmful to her but I had no idea what to do (and no way to get in contact with the parents). [/quote] Thing is, that’s always a safe decision. Better to put the baby in a safe place and take a breather than to get frustrated.[/quote] For sure. But I didn’t really know what else to do. Now I would try shushing her, swaddling, taking her temp to see if she was sick, etc. Back then, I changed her diaper, fed her, and had no idea what to try. Just no experience. [/quote] I would never leave my baby with a teen unless it were an emergency. And I wouldn’t want my teen to babysit a baby. Toddlers and up. [/quote] Same[/quote]
