how long does it take for a baby to adjust to a new sitter?

Question

it’s been 4 days so far and he is still crying all day. he NEVER cries and i really think he just doesn’t like it there. he’s used to being the only kid at our old babysitter… and this in home daycare one has a lot more. i just have anxiety really bad about this and a bad feeling. but i think i’d have a bad feeling with anyone. i walked in on the first day and he was SCREAMING. like he’s a newborn or something and he’s 8 months.
every time i text her and ask how she’s doing she says he’s crying 😳

Answer

Give it some time like 2 weeks he’s new to the environment and the babysitter. This age is common for separation anxiety. Maybe tell the babysitter to show him YouTube for a small amount of time so he gets settled

Answer

It can take some babies a few weeks to adjust to a new sitter and environment. It's understandable to feel anxious about your baby's well-being, but try to give it some more time. You can also try to make the transition easier by bringing some familiar items from home, such as a favorite toy or blanket. It's also important to communicate with the sitter and express your concerns. Ask if there's anything she can do to help your baby feel more comfortable. If you continue to have a bad feeling, it's okay to look for a different sitter that you feel more comfortable with.

Answer

maybe she’s not treating him right. how many kids are there and how many adults are there to take care of the kids? i’d be worried
