[quote=Anonymous]I think a schedule is realistic with any number of caregivers (think a nursery where staff is interchangeable but the routine stays the same regardless of who's on duty on a particular day), but you have to be very clear with everyone involved about what you want and when, and you have to make sure that they actually follow through with what you're asking them to do.

Maybe write it down and put it up by the crib, so everybody knows what should be happening when. Especially with grandparents who have many ideas about how things should be done and they've raised their own kids and are wise, etc, you need to really impress upon them how crucial it is for them to follow the routine. The same goes for the nanny, but I think it's actually easier with a nanny because nannies can usually put away their own ideas about childrearing and do what you ask them to do. Ask the nanny to keep a log of what goes on while you're not there, it'll give you an idea of whether the schedule is being followed or not.

It's absolutely doable, good luck!
