Would appreciate some advice about this situation - to do with sleeping

[Saltire]

Am going to be minding 2 boys - 1 age 2 1/2 the other 8 months. The older child still ahs afternoon naps - his parents ahve requested that I follow the nap routine they do with him. This involves giving him his dummy and blanket and sitting him on sofa with tv on low.
The younger one though will not under any circumstance sleep in the cot. He will only sleep in the buggy,sitting bolt upright and being rocked or pushed. If for example we ar eout and he falls alseep he will sleep for a good hour - 2hours, but if I try to bring buggy into house he wakes up screeching
he can't self settle at all anything else results in him screeching full volume.
now I am not happy about either way, but that's what the parents have requested I do.

So, any suggestions on
A) how to get younger mindee to either sleep in cot or to self settle
B) Any ideas for changing brother's sleeping

If the younger one doesn't get sleep then he clings to me all afternoon - to teh point that I did actually go to the loo with him on my knee as he makes himself sick with crying. If he doens't get sleep he won't be put down, he won't eat, he won't sit on my knee, he wants carried the whole time

poor you and poor mum, sounds if she is at end of her tether - obv baby wont ss if he isnt used to it at home and doesnt ever have to do it

why doesnt she let the older child sleep in a cot/bed rather than sofa?

when older one is asleep, could you put younger baby in the buggy and rock to sleep and leave in garden, or rock and leave in house?

or is it the case, when not being rocked/pushed, he wakes up and cries

nothing worse than a tired and clingy child as NOTHING else can be done

I think it'sthe dad who has started the sleep issues. He was a SAHD, and admitted that he let the older one sleep on sofa as "it's easier for me"

He will sleep ok if I stop rocking, but if something wakens him - dog barking, plane etc, then under no circumstances will he go back over, and then of course cries to be held sat with etc

so he wont sleep through basic noise either -i would advice getting a cd of white noise and get him used to it

bloody dads

its NEVER for an easy life, as makes things harder in the long run

and if the parents put him in a bedroom every day, habbit would soon be broken - im assuming older child sleeps in bedroom at night?

could baby sleep upstairs in a bedroom with maybe a radio playing so if any sudden noises happen, it makes less noisey iyswim

I would totally go with the parents routine for a few weeks, wait until they are settled in before you try changing anything.
Then slowly change one thing at a time, you could try one notch on the buggy to slowly get the baby to lie flat when sleeping.
Perhaps you could go for an afternoon walk in a double buggy and get them to both sleep while out for a walk. I've been known to take a flask and paper out with me!!
