[quote=Anonymous]I don't think you can do anything without the support of the parents. If your MB and DB are happy to feed them toddler junk you aren't going to achieve anything except make your little one hungry.

I personally believe that sleep is so so important especially for developing brains - does she not fall asleep in the pushchair? I think I saw you say that her having two naps is tricky as then you can't go anywhere but could she not have a little catnaps in the pushchair on the way to the library? Or if you walk around the park she could have 45m either in the park or fall asleep on the way home and sleep in the pushchair. A brief catnap (30-40m) may help her push through the morning.

I would sit down with you MB and say "little girl is really struggling with being left to play ie you popped her down to play while you tidied up lunch and she cried the whole time, does she do this for you? How would you like me to deal with this?" that way you and the MB are on the same page and you are not leaving a child to cry without permission.

It can be really hard to juggle two babies especially when their needs are so different- my nanny share position fell apart because one of the babies really struggled to adjust to being in the share and it was in her best interest to have a quieter environment and more attention than I could give with another baby and a toddler.[/quote]
