we had a first trial day with our nanny: she has studied to become a daycare teacher and has experience so I felt ok and left her alone for 1 hour.
but when I came back I found my baby sleeping on her stomach on a blanket in the bed! two choke hazards in one.. kinda makes me doubt.
what do you ladies think?
@lilfree16, my baby just turned 6 weeks and cannot roll over yet. also of course you can use covers, but in the right way. she however but the blanket under the baby: so not to cover her.
so what are the point of blankets if you cant use them? the baby is supposed to freeze or be cold because they my might suffocate? who says the baby didnt roll onto her stomach or that ahe was constantly checking on the baby.. she's supposed to sit by the crib ?
I would be mad. Everyone that knows me knows that my son normally rolls over onto his stomach but NEVER is left with a blanket in his crib. He has nothing in his crib at all. I wouldn't hire her again. I wouldn't trust someone that doesn't know the basics of child care.
Your child is always at risk with a stranger. You never know what state of mind a person is in. They can flip out one day and take it out on the love of your life. They can throw the baby in the crib all day and let your little one cry for hours until it's time for you to get home. A nannies job is so serious and SIDS is real and can sometimes be prevented. One mistake can cost you your baby and the nanny her life.
I used to nanny and those babies were my life! I was more paranoid than the parents. I loved them like they were my own and you have to be soooo careful. Many nannies just do this for a check but my God do they have to realize how important their job is, especially for a baby as small as yours. Please please get a nanny cam.
first time mom here. my daughter is three months old and sleeps on her tummy with a cover ... she's fine I understand all us moms are different , but one time won't hurt just mention it next time. Jasalynn is clearly happy and very fine .
my baby was in the bedroom in her crib, and the nanny on the sofa in the living room.
yes but I used to work in a daycare too and have a lot of experience, of course it feels different when it's your own child. but to not put a young baby on her stomach or on a blanket is basic knowledge? or am I exaggerating?
Was the babysitter by her watching her? If so I wouldn't worry too much. You can always mention that you'd prefer baby to be placed on her back for naps too.
I can't take it anymore! Haley (yes my 1mth old and no I wasn't able to go through this "joy" of nursing my older daughter, Molly) has been screaming non stop for 6hrs! All she wants to do is eat and I can't have her attached to me all day, everyday! She has wanted to eat every hr on the hr for the past 3hrs! I put her in her room so I don't scream at her but I just can't take it!

My August baby decided she wanted to be a May baby like her big sister. Madison Noelle was born on Tuesday, May 24 at 3:50pm, weighing 2lbs, 13oz and 14". She was born at 27 weeks and has a long road ahead of her. Every day she has been getting stronger and amazing everyone. Please keep us in your prayers, my family and I have a long road ahead of us. Congratulations to everyone and I wish you all wonderful pregnancies and deliveries! ??❤️
I have a one year old with lices and i didnt now some girls she was playing with had them and now she has some i dont now if i should take her so i can get medicine for the lies and i just check her and she has a alot and it bothers me that she straches her self ... has any one had a problem what can i use ??
Has anyone else thought of this nonsense with her being weird, not having consistent information etc. as seeming a whole lot like the beginning of Glee with the fake pregnancy?!
oh whats funny is the when my cousin was teaching me.. she always told me to lay the baby on the receiving blanket because their skin is sensitive for a while.. just tell her your concerns.. some people are taught differently and a professional would understand your concerns.. especially if she has nannied before andher previous moms told her a certain way they like..
