[quote=Anonymous]We have had a our nanny for 3 months since our twins were 6 weeks old. We hired her for her experience caring for multiples as well as caring for children in different stages ( we also have a 17 month old)
During the interview we discussed wanting the kids on a schedule, and she suggested 7 to 7 which we agreed to. Our oldest  transitioned to the schedule easily, and nanny managed to get the twins down to two feeds overnights since she's been employed.
The problem is my mother has been with us the last month( both DH and I our in residency) and I have call, we didn't plan on 3  under 2 at this stage in our lives.
The first week nanny and mother butted heads of the the feeding schedule which resulted in a meeting with nanny, in which nanny basically said she needed  me  to have my mother stick to the schedule.
 I talked to my mom.
Now we have a new problem over naps.
Nanny prefers the twins to nap between  4 hours total during her 10 to 12 hour shift, and all naps in their crib, in a dark room, with the sound machine.
Well over the weekend my mom discovered that if we cut naps to 2 to 3 hours they will sleep all night with no wake up, she also nixed the darkening shades and let them have a stroller nap.
This has caused another conflict.
I kind of like the idea of them sleeping all night should I tell nanny to make the switch or just leave it? Also do I address the conflict, my mother leaves in a week?[/quote]
