[quote=Anonymous]Maybe they don't sleep well at night and parents think they'll sleep better if they don't nap as much? Also, some parents seem to think nannies are being lazy if they "make" the babies sleep "too much". It's the nannies job to take them outside, stimulate them and wear them out so the parents can just come home and put them to bed! I agree with what you said about patting them and shushing or humming if they wake up. MB stayed home one day to do paperwork, make phone calls etc and I noticed she would pick him up the instant he woke up. This wouldn't just destroy any chance of his going back to sleep, it sort of startled and disoriented him. I do the pat/hum thing, and he often goes back to sleep. Even if he doesn't, he wakes up more gently and in a better mood. [/quote]
