N.S.
I wish I could be more positive but I will tell you my daughter REFUSED to have a babysitter watch her until 14 months! I too tutor and teach and it was horrible. She would scream and scream and scream until I had to give up tutoring some students because I couldn't do it to her. You have to decide what your daughter needs and then sometimes we make do with a lot less to keep our children happy and healthy. We struggled worse than you can imagine during that time and we are just getting on our feet now financially but I know it was right cause she was happy. Thats the bottom line. Not all babies can be trained and pushed to do as WE want them to do. Good luck making the right choice.
