I know parents can be difficult.

Some items to consider:
Most of the items you describe above can be resolved for this child and future clients by having clear policies in place.

In example consider do you want to charge a supply fee (or add it to the cost of tuition) that covers all diapers, diaper cream, etc. This is not uncommon in my area. Another common thing in my area is a provider to give parents a detailed supply list stating what brands of diapers are okay, what diaper cream, types of clothing etc. Also one infant provider VERY CLEARLY states for children under 2 they will be fed on demand without restrictions unless directed by a doctor and even then she will evaluate IF that would work best for all the children in her program if not they might need to find alternate care.
