[quote=Anonymous]I work from home and am still nursing.  Our wonderful, loving and brilliant nanny has been with us for seven months now and it truly couldn’t be better.

You need to find a nanny who “fits”.  Our nanny is just a lovely person to be around and so interesting.  She is older and has had a rich, full life.  She comes to work early every day with a huge smile on her face and my son lights up when he sees her.

Pretty much from day one, she had my baby on a loose schedule - ex: in the morning there were morning songs and finger rhymes in his room then playtime on the mat in the living room and then a long morning walk.  She would bring the baby to me when it was time to nurse and then do baby-related chores like his laundry while I was feeding him.  The schedule has evolved as he’s gotten older but my point is that her schedule makes it easier for all three of us in terms of staying out of each other’s way.

You need to find someone you want to spend time with and who is mature enough to carry on with your baby (sing, be silly, etc) even if her boss can hear.   For your part, you stay away when you hear your baby cry and let your nanny do her job.  Try not to interrupt too much.  By the time your baby is six months and vaccinated, let your nanny take him to classes and storytimes as well as to play in the park.  Our nanny now has DS out of the house pretty much all morning.

Anyway, long story short - it’s worked out for us better than I ever could have imagined.  Good luck![/quote]
