[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Between the time I interviewed with my current family and the time I started (4weeks) they decided to adopt a montessori approach to child raising. I will be the first to admit I knew very little about this parenting style so it was a major "learn as you go" type deal for me. Well now I've been here a few months and I'm going insane. Oldest DC makes ALL of her own decisions and is rather overwhelmed at times and falls out in a crying fit (3yr old). Youngest DC is an infant, sleeps on a crib mattress on the floor in an unbabyproofed room. This kiddo is a terrible sleeper- constantly falling off the bed and waking up in a panic/scream mid sleep. There are absolutely no "restraint" type things here. No swing, no bouncer, no jumper, exersaucer etc. I have literally turned into helicopter nanny trying to keep this baby not only entertained but safe. Does ANYONE have any tips for me? Keeping him on his bed is the immediate need (for both our sanities). There are so many days this DC sleeps 15-20min a day, the entire day I'm here. The poor thing is exhausted.
Holding baby DC while asleep is a no no. DB already brought that up. As is just starting him the floor. Somehow I am supposed to train this 6month old stay on this mattress. Hence why I'm asking you ladies.
Oh, baby DC does sleep marginally better at night, however it's only for 2-3 hrs at a time and then rolls off the bed and is wide awake. [/quote]

Quit.

Don't put up with this.  Poor children.[/quote]
