[quote=Anonymous]OP, my concern would be, as someone else said, pushback in the future.

There isn't much to do with a newborn (though, IMO (and Dr. Weissbluth's), you're better off doing naps where you want naps to be when the baby is older).

I also think that you should be prepared at that 6 month meeting to talk about what you see your child's days looking like. I think it might be difficult to switch from a job where you get to decide what to do all the time, and that can include running your personal errands, meeting friends for lunch, going out for coffee, etc. to one where the baby is more scheduled (naps at home, has classes or playtime, meal prep and clean up).

One possible reaction I see from the nanny is her saying what many SAHM's end up saying, "there's just not enough time in the day for xyz," because she's also trying to still fit in all the things she was doing before.

Anyway, if you know what you want at that meeting, I think everything will be fine, but you should also consider how you would feel if six months into your own job, which had been entirely loosey-goosey and at your own discretion until that point, your boss suddenly "took away" some of your freedom to set you own schedule or drive your own day.[/quote]
