Sleep arrangement with confinement nanny
Hi mummies, I'm intending to breastfeed but have my baby sleep with the confinement nanny due to limited space in my master. But I'm not sure if this is feasible. Do nannies typically stay up at night with mummies? Any advice on the best arrangement for night feeds?
Yes, the nanny will help to take care of the baby throughout the night, unless you tell her not to. For me, I also let my baby sleep with the nanny overnight in a separate room coz I have an older child sleeping with me and my husband. When it’s time for feeding, the nanny will carry her to my room and knock on the door. After I finish breastfeeding my baby, I pass it back to the nanny and she’ll change + coax my daughter to sleep. As for best arrangement for night feeds, after the nanny, I find that co-sleeping is the best because it allows most rest for mummy :) you can try and experiment and see how things work out for you!
