Case study - Toby

Toby is nine months old and has very recently started attending your setting for two days a week.

Toby is a happy baby and his mother is obviously very proud of him and often shares stories about him with staff members.

You have observed that Toby cries a lot when his mother first leaves him. He also gets very upset at nappy changing time and at meal times, when he refuses to eat any food.
