[quote=Anonymous]I know it seems overwhelming but a good nanny will figure it out. I remember being terrified to be alone with two kids after the second one was born. It took me 6-7 weeks before I could do it without panicking. We spent my maternity leave giving the nanny time to adjust. First month, she took care of older kid while I managed the baby. Second month, she had more time with the baby while I did things with the older child. Third month, she built up her time watching both kids while I worked out or ran errands. She found the rhythm that worked and she definitely took the older kid to the park and figured out both kids nap schedules and feedings. It just takes time, patience, and flexibility. Some parts of the routine will get modified for a while and that’s okay. Kids change so quickly that the challenge you are envisioning might exist for a few weeks and then not be a problem anymore.
