I initially was thinking he was crying b/c he always wants to be held, which is probably part of it... but why is he not sleeping well? Any overly-tired baby is going to cry. Where does he sleep when he's in daycare? Where does he sleep at home and how do his parents put him to sleep at night? Maybe you could try talking to parents about his sleeping habits and try getting him to sleep longer in daycare. If that doesn't work, I'd have a discussion with dcp's about trying to hold him less and let him start playing independently for short periods of time at home. For one, it's necessary for his development; and for two, it's necessary to get him to be happy at daycare. You both have the same goal,you want him to be happy in daycare! And right now he definitely is NOT!!
