[quote=Anonymous]We have a nanny and my husband and I have primarily worked from home since the start of the pandemic. We have separate home offices in our basement and the nanny/kids stay upstairs. The separation really helps both of us. I stay away from the kids all day - one is a toddler and gets upset if he sees me and then I leave again. That doesn’t happen for my husband, so he pops in a bit more frequently during the day for snacks, etc.

With respect to nursing, it really depends on your work schedule. When I had a baby, I pumped and left bottles for my nanny. If your work is really flexible so that the nanny could bring the baby to you any time, then nursing might work. But if you wanted to nurse at set times, I could see a nanny getting frustrated with that because babies often get hungry at different times. It might also be harder as the baby gets closer to a year old and might start experiencing some separation anxiety when you give return the baby to the nanny after nursing. [/quote]
