[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think you'd do fine with a nanny share from the beginning, especially if you're ok with naps in the swing or bouncer. That's something you can allow at home that a daycare center can't do. [/quote]
Do you know that any knowledgable nanny would understand that isn't a good sleep arrangement for the baby?[/quote]

It isn't going to kill the kid. If the parents are ok with it, MYOB [/quote]

Except that it could literally kill the kid because anything other than an AAP-approved sleep surface (flat, firm surface with no pillows or blankets) is a SIDs risk through 12 months.  Regularly sleeping in swings and bouncers has also been linked to increased risk of torticolis and other abnormalities.  So an educated, professional nanny should not be risking her career by using unsafe sleeping devices.

OP, consider hiring a sleep training expert instead.  It's possible that your DC would adjust to daycare just fine if she had the ability to sleep in that environment and most 6mos could be taught to do that fairly quickly.[/quote]
