I think putting the timeline helps parents be more prepared and helps during the interview because I can address those policies better and explain WHY I have them.
FWIW, I am not referring to regular crying but the "I'm sick", uncomfortable or just not feeling good type of cry.

Originally posted by hope View PostI call for pick up if crying lasts an hour on and off. If it's a straight half hour I text dcm to discuss and unless she has some magical idea I ask for pick up. If the baby were new to you then crying can last longer. Since you know big brother has a stomach bug I would call immediately. You will probably be next! This is why I want to change my policy for sibling sickness. No need to contaminate everyone bc dcm wants to only deal with one sick child.
I hate it when kids get sick especially infants! :-(

Calling Parents for Infant
At what point do you call parents to pick up an infant? She was a little fussy yesterday, mom drops off this morning and says she has been really fussy and older brother is home with a stomach bug. She was crying a little at first gave bottle and she fell asleep. Woke up 15 minutes later crying which turned to screaming. I have tried everything I can think of to calm her down but it's been almost an hour. Poor peanuts tummy is really hard and her legs are stiff and stretched out. She is definitely in pain She is normally a happy baby.
Oh and She's on acid reflux medicine
