[quote=Anonymous]A family in my neighborhood hired a nanny a few months back for their infant babies. The babies were born at 25 weeks and spent many months in the NICU. I don't know the family very well, but since I have twin toddlers myself, I like to stop and say hi when I see them. The Dad is very lukewarm, so I avoid him. Mom is nice but works now so I do not see her. The grandparents were here helping out and are very nice. Here is the issue: the nanny takes this kids (now 8 months, but the size of 3 month olds) on LONG, LONG, LONG walks outside. I am talking like hours at a time. Multiple times a day. At first I thought I was imagining things, but she leaves the house with the kids in the stroller and her IPOD in as I am leaving. 2 hours later I see her coming home. Or I will see her walking a couple miles away from home in the am, then see her back walking there in the afternoon. I sincerely doubt that she is going out every hour, so I am pretty confident now that she has them in the stroller walking for several hours a day. This just seems insane! I stopped her today and said hi. I said they must really like stroller rides. She said yes, it calms them. That's great, but it really isn't good for a baby to be stuck in a carseat stroller for so long each day. And I know that when you have twins, each baby does get less hold time and more sit time than a singleton. Would you want to know this if these were your babies? I very well may be way off and the mom wants the babies to be out in the stroller for long periods of time, but it still seems wierd. Should I just let it go?[/quote]
