[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's hard to tell. However, if you really want a certain routine and the nanny is not doing it, it's time for a talk.

It's okay if she doesn't want to raise the child this way, but then you are not very compatible in styles. Or maybe she just doesn't understand what you want, or she doesn't get how important it is to you. Have the talk. [/quote]

Thanks yes I completely agree - there is a language barrier so it may be getting lost in translation when we try to reconfirm what is important to us. I actually don't even mind if she follows our exact routine so much as ANY routine. It's very hard for a baby to go from playing downstairs to upstairs in his crib without a wind down and expect him to want to fall asleep without crying about the sudden change (hence pulling him out and rocking him). I figured giving her an exact routine to follow would be easier since she's not seeming to understand the importance in general.

She otherwise loves and cares for him so much, so it's hard to make someone rocking your baby to sleep (out of love and care!) something to be upset about. I just worry the inconsistency between caregivers is really confusing him at this point.[/quote]
