[quote=Anonymous]Every baby is different op, even siblings. This baby might not get on a schedule until 6-8 mo (very typical) and you next baby might be on a schedule straight from the womb, or not until a year old. Every adult is different and so is every baby.

And I am genuinely curious about what you think a day time nanny is going to do to get your baby on a night time schedule? Wave a magic wand? I've helped babies get on a schedule insofar as making sure they get good sleep during the day and sleep begets sleep, so in general a baby who sleeps well during the day will sleep better at night, but that's really all she can do during the day to help you. You need to make sure you have a sound machine or some kind of sound proofing in baby's room to cut down on outside noise, swaddle, feed before sleep to cut down on the possibility of waking up hungry after a couple hours, let baby cry and wait for a few minutes before going in and then wait longer and longer over time. I think a lot of parents rush in at the first peep when if they would wait 5-10 min the baby would go back to sleep on its own.

I hope that helps, but I also want to emphasize that 15 weeks is VERY VERY early for this. I don't crib train, cry it out etc before 6-8 mo. [/quote]
