[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think your nanny is ridiculous and I would be worried.

I also think judging things by "leaps" on a day to day basis will make you unnecessarily anxious and insecure in your parenting.

You cannot spoil a 6 month old baby.  They cry when they need something, and it is ok if what they need is nothing more than fundamental attention.

Trust your instincts and tell the nanny (appropriately of course) that you expect her to respond to your child's cries, even if she thinks it's coddling.

That's her job.  That's why you have a nanny - to take fantastic, focused care of your baby in the manner you want.  If she's unable or unwilling you need another nanny (or nanny share).

OP is in a nanny share.  What should the nanny do when both kids need her - forget the other child just to focus and carry your child?! [/quote]

I have multiple kids, including twins, and I manage.  So have our nannies.  A good nanny, especially a nanny experienced in shares, manages multiple kids beautifully.  [/quote]

You didn’t actually answer the question. How did you manage? How did you give attention when all the kids were upset? Did you morph into 3 people to give each one attention? [/quote]
