[quote=Anonymous]I agree with your DH at this age.

1) Your baby is at a stage where he needs attention and love and what if nanny is giving more attention and love to her own child. Your baby will feel somewhat replaced.

2) Your child will see the other baby playing with his/her toys and might go for it and nanny will probably say in a silly voice "we need to share".. Your baby is to young to understand sharing and will think nanny is favoring her baby.

3) If theres a fire or intruder who will nanny go to first? Tough to swallow but most likely her own baby.

4) Less one on one attention.

5) Nanny will start getting use to this situation and want more 'playdates'

6) You lose out on more food, diapers, wipes, etc. (because I doubt nanny will use her supplies for her kid)

7) If her child likes to watch a certain show while your baby likes another cartoon guess what show they're going to watch? Nanny's baby's show.

8) Nap times will be a problem.

9) Nanny will be more exausted chasing double.

The list goes on.. Now yes, maybe I'm looking at all the negatives but like another PP mentioned, this does nothing for your child at this point. Socializing should come around the toddler stage but right now your baby needs love, stability and comfort. I'm not saying this playdate will ruin him/her lol but lets face it.. You and your child lose out much more then you gain.[/quote]
