[quote=Anonymous]I totally understand. My charge was about 7 months when this was really a big issue.  MB works from home in an upstairs office and exclusively breastfeeds. The baby has never had a bottle and will not take a pacifier. MB insisted on letting her fall asleep while feeding and transferring her to crib for naps. Problem was when she woke up too soon, she was completely unable to soothe herself and was very upset. MB believes in never letting a baby cry and instant reassurance at all times which was tough with a baby who was simply really tired. I had a sit down talk with MB and DB and brought my concerns to them as a nanny. I suggested that we always wake baby if she falls asleep while feeding. I then take her through our nap time ritual, get her lovie, turn down the lights, turn on her white noise, etc. I then put her down for her nap. It was about a week of hell but she is now a great happier at 9 months. I say you definitely have to be honest with MB and give your feedback. As a nanny, it is never our job to tell MB what is right, but suggestions and feedback are a good thing. They hired us as professionals for that feedback.
Good luck![/quote]
