Just trying to get my head around a couple of things for my first inspection this coming week. I need a little bit of advice if anyone has time.
My downstairs has 3 rooms - the kitchen is in the middle and has 2 rooms leading off it with double-doors into both. These rooms are the lounge and the conservatory (dedicated playroom).
The question is this, when it's baby's bottle time, would it be totally unprofessional of me to let the 3 year old continue playing happily in the conservatory whilst I'm in the lounge feeding baby? We'd have the kitchen separating us but all the double-doors would be open (I'd be able to hear her and possibly see her). This is my normal routine but obviously I'm now questioning if the 3 year old should be in the same room with me and baby at all times.
It's no problem me giving baby his bottle in the conservatory but I'm worried I'll forget due to nerves as it isn't what I normally do. Is what I already do really not acceptable? I'm also worried I'll look stupid and over-protective if I insist the 3 year old stays glued to my side at all times. Where do I draw the line?
Gosh, so much to think about and consider!
