I hear all the comments about wanting her when the baby is here. But I typically don’t have a nanny even touch the baby the whole time I’m on mat leave. That is my bonding time with the new baby and my responsibility, being off work. The day I go back to work is the day the nanny cares for that baby for the first time. This is what I did with my second.

You love your nanny but don’t want her to bond with the newborn? Our nanny met our second baby before any relatives or friends did. She stayed 24/7 with our 2 year old for 4 days while I was in the hospital for the c-section and brought our daughter to meet the baby. It made me happy to see our nanny cooing over the newborn. The first 2 months, she’d hold him so I could shower or nap. Then the next 2 months, she cared for him while I ran errands, did something special with my older kid, or went for a walk in the woods by myself. It was wonderful for my mental health. It helped get us all adjusted so that my return to work was less stressful. [/quote]
