[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Sorry for the delay in reply.

I do have an easy baby. He is 3.5 months old and sleep trained. He takes 3 solid naps during the day while I work, but that doesn’t mean it is easy. He loves to be held and loves interaction. He is not a baby who is content laying on the play gym for an hour. I try to make breaks so I can interact with him but it can be tough. I can't take calls while he is playing. I bottled feed and I can’t just pop him on the breasts when he’s hungry. He is on a routine and eats every 3 hours. The 4 month sleep regression might hit and I would rather have someone here to help.

I have an unpredictable job and I’m expected to be on-call at all times. I can’t tell them I need time because I have to care for my baby. I work 3 days ( 8 hours) right now but will be going back FT in 1.5 weeks.

My husband has taken care of the baby on his own many times. He took off a week the first week I was back at work so he doesn't think it’s that hard. I don’t like the idea of having someone in the house with our baby that he has not approved or feels comfortable with. I would not like it if the roles were reversed. I just need help.

I don’t want to daycare because of the pandemic. We can afford a nanny and I prefer to keep him on his routine and in the home where I know he is safe and I can see him throughout the day.

You say you need help, but you’ve shot down the idea of a nanny and daycare. What exactly are you hoping to get from this thread? [/quote]

OP literally said she wants a nanny since she doesn’t want to do daycare. [/quote]

So she’s needs to get one. Does she need to ask ol’ boy for permission? Or is she asking us? [/quote]
