[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We hired a newborn care specialist for our newborn and she told us not to do any contact naps. She’s very strict about all naps (daytime too) being in the bassinet or a safe sleep space. She says it’s a safety issue and will also make sleep training harder. It kind of breaks my heart. Obviously we can do what we want but she has great reviews so I figured she knows what she’s doing. [/quote] 1. I disagree that it will make sleep training harder. Day sleep and night sleep develop independently (according to sleep experts and my own anecdotal experience). I did tons of carrier/contact naps with both of my kids, and they were sleeping through the night by 4 or 5 months. 2. You are the mom. You are in charge. She can offer advice, but you do not have to take it. 3. Having hired a couple of nannies, I have found that just because someone else liked a childcare provider doesn’t mean that you will. Families can have different needs and preferences. [/quote]
