I am!

Not sure how I feel about the sleep training.

70 minutes of crying Shock

PaintedTshirt · 18/08/2015 20:39

Also didn't like the 'sooner your do it, the easier it will be' comment.

Does that mean leaving a newborn to scream its self to sleep Confused

Ubik1 · 18/08/2015 20:43

They are a good age for sleep training - I did it when mine were around a year old and it saved my sanity.
Twins must be very tough indeed.

Is she pregnant??

Lottapianos · 18/08/2015 20:50

I thought that Painted! I hope there aren't any parents of tiny babies watching this and planning to use the same approach. Yikes. She should have been clearer about a minimum age for sleep training. Other than that I like her approach. The dummy fairy concept was way too high level for 2 year olds but the visual aspect of waving them goodbye was useful.

Luciferbox · 18/08/2015 20:55

I just thought the same thing Cluster. I'm sure I spotted a bump.

thehypocritesoaf · 18/08/2015 20:56

I wonder if this is nanny's first dc?

She's pregnant? Oh wow! I thought she was an older lady but apparently not...
I really like her but have to admit not sure when she puts slippers on and eats poor people's food!

Lottapianos · 18/08/2015 21:01

Yes its her first, and save your hollow laugh. She has over 20 years experience working with parents and children, she's in a much better informed position than most first time parents

Working with other people's children doesn't mean much when you have your own though!

TheColdDoesBotherMeAnyway · 18/08/2015 21:03

The shopping thing bothered me - the poor woman, how can you watch 2 toddlers running in different directions in a crowded place with stuff everywhere? Of course she avoids shopping! I still stick my 3yo in a pushchair occasionally in shops, and she's not a twin! Of course, I've been doing it wrong - I should have just got her to pay, it would have stopped running off episodes and grabbing random items off the shelf Hmm

AnotherTimeMaybe · 18/08/2015 21:04

Just googled it yes it's her first and she's only 41! Bless I think cause of her experience I thought she was a bit older...

Interesting how she ll be with her DC especially around sleep training and discipline ...

Oh yes her advice is fabHmm

OP posts:
MajesticWhine · 18/08/2015 21:05

You wouldn't want to take them shopping would you. But I guess it was useful in trying to demonstrate to the Mum that she could take them out a bit more, because she was stranded at home and didn't have the confidence to go anywhere.

By the way that blonde mum of twins what a stunner and fab body.. Can't believe mum of twins!!

nottheOP · 18/08/2015 21:07

I love this programme and think she's fab. Listening to the cry is so important with Cio, but the Internet hates it. All cries are not the same!

Plus she seemed nice and loaded

Being a nanny does put her in a good position to give advice, she has enough distance to see what is going wrong. When you're in it it's hard to see why at times.

Lottapianos · 18/08/2015 21:14

Yes of course, no one knows anything about children if they're not a parent. How tedious. And no I'm not Kathryn!

I enjoy the programming too nottheOP, and she was spot on about the crying being a cry of rage rather than distress

Lottapianos · 18/08/2015 21:15

Program, not programming!
