[quote=Anonymous]Op here- Couple things. I know my nanny puts him on his side because she has said it in the past (and at that point I said not to) and because yesterday I walked in literally like a second after she put him down and he was placed on his side (walked by accident actually). When I put him to bed, he never rolls. He just rolls when awake and playing. If he rolls to his stomach when playing, he will start crying and want to be rolled to his back. On the National Institute of health website, it says that you should continue to put the baby to sleep on his back even if he knows how to roll. I just don't like that she is not following this direction and not using the sleep sack.

I find the issue of trust to be a bit complicated in the sense that I think she is a nice person but she does not always follow directions (there have been other issues like when I told her to take him to urgent care and she did not- another story.) But in general she is a nice reliable person so I hate to fire her but still having a general concern about her not following direction. And I think part of my question was also about how serious an infraction it is safety wise and it seems like folks are saying it isn't a big deal to not follow the NIH guidance about initially placing a baby who rolls on his back until 1 year.[/quote]
