[quote=Anonymous][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]

This.  And it may be time to part ways, too.  If I were a nanny, I could not let a baby cry it out no matter what the parents said.  Though I'd have had a discussion with the employer and offered to resign if that was a requirement.  I think that is the type of thing parents and nanny candidates need to discuss ahead of time though.  [/quote]

Thanks, I understand that sentiment too which is why I have not doubled down yet this week on the rocking thing. I am trying to figure out if what I've read is correct (at least anecdotally with others' experiences) - that babies can adapt to different caregivers - OR if we are setting our baby up for failure by not being more firm with her.

And I really wanted to go all in on not sleep training but our baby (and we) were getting such awful fractured sleep, something had to change. The strange thing is that initially she suggested to us to let him cry more when he was much younger and struggling with naps, and we were nowhere near ready to even think about sleep training at that point.
