I've given notice to parents with a child who can't self-sooth. Many parents these days carry their children all day long in those slings and wonder why their child can't self-sooth or calm themselves without being held. It has nothing to do with the child and and all about the parents inability to be a parent. Maybe a group daycare or nanny would be better? Group daycares can trade off holding while others care for the other kids and a nanny would just hold the baby all day like the brilliant Mom has done. Good luck...hope you find some peace soon it is hard enough caring for other people's children with out having to fix a emotional development issue that should have been dealt with early on. Not healthy for child to be carried all day!
