I have been licensed for 25 yrs, so I know what people are really saying, reading between the lines. I have been holding a spot for an existing parent for 8 months. The child is suppose to start daycare on Monday. I was just told 7 days ago the child has really bad acid reflux, only sleeps with swaddler (which we cannot use in daycare) sleeps on a wedge in the crib or in the swing. I cannot use the wedge or the swing to sleep the infant. I told the parents I couldn't sleep the child the way they want me to. I suggested if they had a friend or relative who could watch the infant until said child was daycare ready. They said yes, but they wanted to start the child anyway to see how it goes. I took care of the older sibling 3 yrs ago, that child had acid reflux too, however, I have been told the new child has it much worse that older sibling did. I could barely handle the older sibling 3 yrs ago, when I could swaddle. I see this not working, I suffer from migraines and stress is a big factor with the onset of migraines. I am not looking forward to this at all. I just know these parents, waiting this long to inform me of their infant. I know I will be giving them notice. Really needed to vent
