Other “GOOD TO KNOWS” The baby can be abused during quiet time and day care. Don’t let others handle baby. If other people abuse baby, it is still your fault. YOU are the parent; Baby is your responsibility. Babies are set on the same difficulty level, but they will not run the same simulation. The programs are based on how actual 3 month old infants behaved during a 24 hour period.

FAQs Where does the baby sleep? Does it sleep? Kind of. When it’s “breathing” it’s sleeping. When it’s not doing anything, it’s sleeping. At night, I’d recommend keeping baby close to your bed when you sleep but not in bed with you (you could roll over and push it off) What do you do about driving? Baby belongs in its carrier in the back seat. Pull over and care for it if you can. Let it go and record the time you missed a care if you can’t. What if you are in sports with the wristband? Talk with your scheduling instructor. You may be granted permission to not wear the wristband have to keep a journal of all cares you provided.

FAQs Continued… Can I name baby? What do I do if I have a problem? Yes, as long as it isn’t obscene What do I do if I have a problem? Text or call the number on your wristband. This should only be used in case of emergency. Who takes off my wristband. The instructor and ONLY the instructor when you check in.
