[quote=Anonymous]Your son knows that you are his mother. Talk to the nanny if you want to make it work. Tell her when you are breastfeeding (since you don’t see him much during the day) you would like to have this time with your son, ALONE. She can go clean up, wash out his bottles, purée some food- whatever.

Does your son cry for her when she leaves? If not, then at the end of the day pick your son up and say “tell Mandy bye bye” and let him wave or go into another room with your son. If your son does cry because the nanny is  lingering, then tell her that it’s best to say bye and leave! You don’t want him to become upset.

But it sounds like you don’t really care for her as your nanny- maybe because of this or other reasons. You want to be comfortable with whoever takes care of your son and you want them to respect you. I will say i’ve know a few caregivers who liked to see children cry for them- so I don’t think you’re crazy. I’m a nanny and I would NEVER encourage a child to take their first steps toward me while their parent is right there- we ALL know that’s a milestone that should be discovered by the parents first. Even if we did see it first, you don’t say anything until the parents say they saw it happen. [/quote]
