I almost wonder if those who like to label these DCs as high needs are not providers. You certainly are not doctors so how can you place a diagnosis on them? Not to mention you have yet to meet them. Yes, I do believe a baby can be held too much. I have had two DCC who have consistently cried all day unless they were being held. One was high needs and one was not. There is a big difference, they have a lot more problems then just not being held. Bottom line, if you are stressed out and your attention is being taken away from the other children in the daycare then you should let them go.
