[quote=Anonymous]OP please do not listen to the other posters. This is your baby and what's best for him. Explain to her that until he gets used to the transition, to let him nap in the Rock N Play. I've even held the babies a few time just to have them bond to me a little. He should not be overtired and starving when your home. I would just let her know how you prefer things. Give it another couple days or a week. If it doesn't change, fire her.

I went through this but with MB. She told me ( before I started) that her son was always fussy, tired, and ate every hour. That all changed when I started. He ate every 2-3 hours, napped well, and was in a great mood all day. After a few hours of her bring home or her days home, he was crying all day, eating every hour, etc. She asked me to shadow and give her my honest opinion.

I realized that she would try to comfort nurse or feed at every cry. Then he would spit up because he couldn't handle it. She never put him down for naps and would say " he never naps". He would fall asleep abc wake once she moved around. Instead of putting him down back to sleep, she would try and play with him. This led to him being over fed, exhausted and cranky. I gently explained he didn't need to eat for every cry. He was just tired. I was worried I overstepped but she appreciated the help. After a few days of doing what I do, his demeanor changed. He was happy, well rested, and fed, but not overfed.

Talk to her. It's your child and your right to speak up. [/quote]
