[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]First off, a 12 week baby doesn't know who is who so she's Not favoring grandma over nanny. However, the nanny can't possibly get the baby to do anything with grandma hovering. If your mom is there, why is the nanny? I've dealt with fussy babies who were spoiled by grandma but only after she had left. I'd never start a job with a grandparent home, they're worse than the parents. Grandma needs to be completely out of the pic while nanny is there or this will never work. She will constantly jump in and take over and/or criticize the nanny.[/quote]

I am confused by your comment - if my 12 week old does not know who is who and is not favoring anyone - why would the nanny not be able to get anything done when grandma is around? My mom does not constantly "jump in" - she is gives the baby to the nanny for feeding and sleeping. But after 30 mins of crying - the nanny hands her back. [/quote]

Just out of the blue? Hey, I can't do this? Or is your mom standing around, commenting or talking to her or offering to help if it gets to be too much? Tell your nanny to handle it herself, tell your mom not to hover. This whole situation sounds confusing - who is even in charge of the baby during the day? It sounds like you hired a nanny but you want grandma to assist throughout the day as well if she is only giving the baby to the nanny to feed and put to bed. That situation isn't going to work. Either grandma is in charge, or nanny is in charge, or if they are both in charge it needs to be separate blocks of time - grandma passes baby off at noon, for example - not in certain situations. No wonder everyone, especially the child, is confused on how to handle things.[/quote]
