[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Perhaps she doesn't like paying you if all the baby does is sleep the majority of the time.

And perhaps you like it that he sleeps so much because it makes your job a breeze.
(No offense!)[/quote]

I doubt it. They pay me well but I don't sit on my butt. I am doing laundry, organizing his clothes/closet, sterilizing toys/bottles, looking up activities, emptying the dishwasher, tidying up the house, etc. I get about an hour to myself a day when he naps, which I eat lunch and snacks. I wish he was up more. I enjoy getting playing with him and getting him out. I constantly find myself occupying myself with tedious tasks.   [/quote]

I do like that he is getting the required sleep he needs in order to grow and develop. I am happy that he isn't cranky because he is sleep deprived and exhausted. I've seen a baby that was very developmentally delayed because the little sleep she got. I am glad that he is getting the best care he needs and deserves. [/quote]

Developmentally delayed because of sleep? That's really hard to believe, TBH. [/quote]

Do some research. It's quite common. Babies grow during sleep. Babies who don't get the required sleep needed have been shown to be delayed with rolling over, sitting up, crawling, walking, talking, etc. [/quote]

If it continues long enough to cause SEVERE developmental delays long term, there is likely an underlying issue causing problems with sleep (and delays), not vice versa. Please show me one iota of evidence that there is a child who was otherwise typical but didn't get good naps as a baby and as a result has major developmental delays and that's the proven cause.
