[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ugg.  I've had constant problems with nannies napping my baby too long which then translates to me being up half the night with her!!  I've got one word for nannies that nap kids too much or insist on two naps when they only need one - LAZY!

Op, I have an right month old who only gets one 1-1.5 hr nap a day!  She usually wakes at 6:30a, naps sometime between 10-12p, bedtime at 7p. It's totally reasonable for a toddler to have 1 nap.  I'd try to have your two kids naps overlap an hour or two if possible.  But a nanny expecting a 3-4 hr nap time break per day is ridiculous!  She either needs to do the nap schedule you ask or I'd start looking for another nanny who will.[/quote]

Giving children the sleep they need to grow and flourish is not LAZY, it's responsible. Children in the United States are often chronically overtired and exhausted because they do not get enough sleep. Children grow while they are sleeping, that includes their brains.

Talk to any sleep consultant and they will tell you that your 8 month old is likely not getting enough sleep and should almost certainly not be up for 7-8 hours between waking up from her nap and bedtime.  That is a crazy long time for a baby.  [/quote]
