Baby crying with night nanny

[Anonymous]

If you wanted your child to sleep in a crib at night, you should have put her in the crib from day one and teach her to self-soothe. Changing the game at 8 weeks because you are tired and not getting enough sleep is what is happening. Nanny will or will not get the baby I to a new routine but it will take a while. Your baby is attached and has been taught to sleep with a book in her mouth and a warm responsive body next to her. Husband's usually want their wives back for copulation around that time so that is probably the driving force behind this. I coslept and BF for 2 years but my husband works nights so this worked for us. Figure out what you are willing to give up to.make things work.

NCS here. How do you soothe baby overnight when you are cosleeping? If the answer is “nursing,” then you don’t have a nanny problem, you just didn’t have a realistic sense of how big a transition you were asking for. You are essentially changing 5 major things at once:
1) Caregiver
2) Sleep location (bed vs crib)
3) Sleep position (on side nursing vs. flat on back per SIDS guidelines)
4) Soothing method (suckling vs. rocking/patting etc.)
5) Overnight feeding schedule

You will need to either reduce some of these transitions or expect it to be rough.
