[quote=Anonymous]Of course it’s doable.

But you need to have open communication with your nanny. Some days will be tough some will be great. And in reality you’d be on maternity leave for the first few months and you both can work together on getting a good routine set.

As the parent you also need to know that raising a 2nd or 3rd or more is not like the first. While with the first there’s the worry of sleeping in the crib and all that. Siblings will need to have most naps on the go (especially when on two or three naps). Hopefully by the time you go back to work you can have baby on 2 good naps and a short cat nap in the evening. The second nap hopefully at the same time as older child’s nap/quiet time. Get a carrier for your nanny one she’s comfy in. What’s comfy for you may not be for her. And if nanny has any “chores” see what can be just moved to later or higher a housekeeper

Expectations for everyone will need to change. Sit down with a clear plan for each person and know that flexibility is key. In the blink of an eye it’s gone and peace is back. Be a team you and spouse and nanny. If you’re not already a team with open communication- start now!!! [/quote]
