[quote=Anonymous]OP, no decent nanny will agree to this. Anyone who does, is not someone you want watching your child. I know tons of parents who leave their kids with their nanny for a few days at a time, but never at 4 months old! And never for 8 days, and never with just one caregiver. I cannot fathom any nanny worth hiring would agree to such an insane scenario. My DH took a long business trip when my first was that age and it was hard enough for me to manage alone and I was the baby’s mother! You would need two nannies to make this work - a lot of babies go through the ‘4 month wakeful’ when they are out of the sleepy newborn stage and have a harder time sleeping at night. One person alone with a stranger’s baby, potentially getting very little sleep and no help, ever, for over a week? Not a good plan. If you hate your baby so much that you are already planning two 7-10 day vacations before s/he is even here, give the baby up for adoption. If you leave for that long at that age, the baby won’t remember you when you come back anyway. Maybe just sell the baby when you’re ready for the trip? [/quote]
