[quote=Anonymous]I agree with prior posters who say it is up to the parents to determine how they want these night time wakings handled, and it is up to you to follow that directive or leave the job.  You need to have a meeting with both parents in which you explain your philosophy and the data behind it and they explain their thinking.  Maybe you can convince them to try it your way, maybe not.  But their preferences absolutely define your job.

Beyond that, a 24 hour job sounds unworkable if this sleep pattern continues for more than a couple of weeks.  If the parents continue to insist that the child be held at each wakeup, you could try explaining how this affects your ability to perform during the day and ask that they get additional help for overnights until the phase passes.  The fact that the parents need 24 hour care suggests that they understand the relationship between a good night's sleep and ability to perform at work during the day.

Of course, be prepared for a temporary income adjustment if they agree to supplementing your work with an overnight sitter, because you will essentially be relieved of 1/3 of your working hours.[/quote]
