[quote=Anonymous]I think some babies naturally demand more attention. If your baby is safe and is being played with, but is content to play on his own, I don't think I see a problem with the nanny having to take care of the other baby if he is high-needs. If anything, she is preventing a total meltdown from both babies by not allowing the other baby to cry for extended periods of time.

The food, I would definitely have a sit down with her. Is there a reason that you provide certain foods (allergies, doctor's orders, etc.)? I mean, it's totally up to you what to feed him no matter what, but perhaps it would help in reiterating that he is only supposed to eat certain things. This would be my biggest problem with your nanny, especially since you said she started feeding solids before you gave her permission to.

As for the diaper log, I would probably let that one go. She is very busy with two babies. If you still want to have that aspect of communication, maybe work in 10-15 mins before she is relieved to talk about your day. Ask what they did, what baby ate and if his diapers were normal. Perhaps when you tell her not to worry about the logs anymore, you can ask her to shoot you a text if your baby doesn't eat, isn't napping well, has a tummy ache, etc. [/quote]
