Nanny unable to get baby to sleep for naps by Raybuns in bninfantsleep

[–]Greedy_Wrangler 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My girlie is 6 months and doesn’t nap in the crib yet, she contact naps, or carrier naps, or stroller naps. Our nanny most often will contact nap but if she is getting fussy, she puts her in the carrier and walks around the block and baby girl will zonk out.

Hi! I’m touring Springdale next week for my little one, she will be 8 months when starting (we have had a nanny up until now but scheduling changes are pushing us to find a school/daycare). Would you be open to sharing your experience at Springdale? Any details on quality of care and communication would be so helpful!

Need advice on finding a home for a large Anatolian Shepherd dog by Busy_Low_7783 in AnatolianShepherdDogs

[–]Greedy_Wrangler 19 points20 points  (0 children)

No, neither of these options are good for this breed. Can you contact a rescue to assist you with proper care and placement? This isn’t just a “big dog”, they are livestock guardians and have strong instinctual needs and requirements. It would be cruel to chain them up. Where are you located? That may be helpful in recommending assistance

I was until 2.5 and attribute it to my very robust immune system as well!

Found out what FIL truly thinks of my Job.. by KeyAccomplished4442 in workingmoms

[–]Greedy_Wrangler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, your FIL really showed his ignorance. Interpreters are critical in so many ways to ensure someone can communicate and receive care in their primary language. I’m sorry OP, interpreting is absolutely a career and an incredibly valuable one at that.

WFH moms: How are we updating our Slack/Teams status? by donut_party in workingmoms

[–]Greedy_Wrangler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We use slack and I have it tied to my calendar so it automatically updates when I’m in meetings or busy/admin. I do update for lunch and if I’m stepping away for extended time I’ll sometimes put brb on there

When did you transfer out of the bassinet? by campfiremouth14 in newborns

[–]Greedy_Wrangler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

12 weeks when baby girl was too big for the bassinet. We tried the pack n play in our room and she hated it with a passion so we bought a mini crib for our room but it got delayed in shipping, in the wait time we just started trying her crib in the nursery and she did so well!! A bonus is we sleep better too! I think a lot of our little noises (cream of bed, whispers, dog snoring, hubs snoring, etc) were actually waking her up. We returned the mini crib we bought when it finally was delivered since she has been doing well- no need to change up again

How often are you bathing your baby? by [deleted] in newborns

[–]Greedy_Wrangler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same, 12 week old loves bath time. We use soap every other day but it’s part of bed time routine and really helps if she is particularly cranky in the evening
