Does anyone use a night nanny, or can tell me where to find a reliable one? I have a 10 month old who still wakes up every 2-4 hours every night.
Thanks!

What can I do next?

I have been a nanny for 10 plus years and would love to talk to you more about what you are looking for. My number is ###-###-####. I also have a 4 year old girl so i have been through this! Are you looking for someone for short term or long term?

That's not normal to wake that much, are you interested in saving money and not hiring a night nanny?

My newborn was waking up 4x every night last night I had enough and brought her to bed with me and bamn she only woke up once. My baby likes her momma and not her bassinet.

The mom's on here could give you advise on how to get him to sleep through the night without any night feedings.

Have you found something that works? If not, be sure you've weaned him off liquids at night? Might be hunger/thirst, and as you wean to water and less of it gradually they'll drink more during day instead. Then just leave the binky (if he has to have it) or nothing but self-soothing better.

My daughter is 16 and could watch your child nights. She would be willing to get up every 2 to 4 hours and she loves kids. She has 4 years experience. She has her own car also. email her at ____@____.com if you would like to consider her.

I would be more worried about why he is waking up that many times in the night before I would want someone to come and help. I'm sure you have tried many things. Is he fussy in the day time too? Does he play by himself? Does he have earaches or need a binky? I can’t help you with a night nanny. But I hope you find something that works. At this ages they should be able to put themselves back to sleep I know each child is different and such but is he going to go back to sleep with a stranger getting him at night?
Sorry you didn’t say if you had a girl or boy.
