I've had two like this. Neither are with me any longer
One was 15 months when I termed... her parents were a-okay with her still sleeping in a
swing... yeah, no thanks
The other was 15 months also and thankfully I only had him 5 days before mom termed. She said I wasn't a good fit
he cried from drop off until pick up and flung himself over the PNP side to get out... straight onto his head. I was over it quick.
IME, the ones who are rocked, fed, poopoo'd to sleep just don't belong in my environment. Harsh, but true. I'm not rocking any infant to sleep. Not even newborns.
