[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In my five years working in a daycare I've seen all type of babies. From those who sleep, smile, and play all day to those who cry, annoy, and stress you all day.

You've received good suggestions on this thread, however I'd like to add a[b] need for a ROUTINE. You need to implement a schedule for this baby. Forget the crying for now, make sure she is bathed, skin moisturized, and fully fed with warm milk, diaper dry then wrap her up in a swaddle and put her in her crib turn light off and go about your business (leave her there for an hour and a half at least). Repeat every 2-3 hours. Do this religiously for 2 weeks and you may notice a big change.[/b] Of course you need to discuss it with the family before you start because some are not very understanding.

She sounds like she's overtired and may have reflux. I am in the same boat as you except my mb is wonderful and it has been hellish for all of us. We are on day 2 of a routine similar to the above and it's like night and day. Also 3 hrs between naps is a long time for a baby of that age. Most 2mo olds are taking 3 90min-2hr naps. [/quote]

Except that OP doesn't need strategies to deal with the baby.  She needs strategies to deal with MB, who is ignoring her baby and toddler but still expects OP to keep the baby from crying and do all her usual housekeeping plus extra stuff for MB since she's around more.[/quote]
