[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1. She claims it's the only place he will sleep and that he cried when she tried to put him down in the quiet space. I told her I don't believe in CIO but maybe I should clarify that it's ok if he fusses a bit, which is fine.

2. No, I just found out today that us where he's been sleeping and as I was a bit blind sided I didn't immediately say she shouldn't do that. Wanted to come back with a good plan rather than just say no to things.

3. She says he's playing with the bottle nipple. Which I know he does sometimes but if you take it away and wait 5 minutes and try again he always takes it. She argued with me about this and said she won't take it away when he's playing with it. I thought I would defer to her experience here but that doesn't seem to be working.

4. Breastmilk. He's been getting at least one bottle a day since  2 or 2.5 months but it did take some work.

5. She's done two nanny shares before and maybe about 7 years total as nanny.[/quote]

Tell her you want him sleeping in the room.  Don't expect him to sleep much for a while.  It sounds like they all need to get used to each other.
Tell her what you want, offer your support and let them get used to each other.
She refused to take the bottle out of his mouth if he's playing with the nipple? This makes no sense.[/quote]
