Does she expect a 9 week old to sleep through the night? It's simply part of being a parent to get up at night. If DCM gives you trouble about it, let her know that at 9 weeks, it's about the BABIES needs, not hers. If she leaves you, so be it. Where I live, at least, you'd have that slot filled in 10 minutes.
I think that yes, she expects him to sleep through the night. I asked her how nighttime was going and she said "okay, he is still getting up once or twice" um... My 2 1/2 year old is still gettin up once or twice!!
I'm not too worried about them leaving, they were on my
Wait list, and paid to hold the spot - but if they do leave, I have about 4 infants waiting for a spot
