Would you run for the hills?!

[smurfette]

I have provisionally booked a little one in to start in march, mum happy to pay a retainer from now, so just been emailing to touch base as she wasn't sure whether she needed full time or part time . Have always understood this is a particularly precious little one who they waited a long time for, but bit worried about info she sent me today. Just to say I am lucky enough to be full enough at the mo, and busy with enquiries so don't need to go with this if it doesn't feel right

A coffee would be great. I've so many things going through my mind about how to help her so your advice would be great. I know you said that the babies sleep around lunch-time for you? xx doesn't have set naps. I follow her lead and she generally naps in the morning from 9.30/10am for anything from twenty minutes to an hour and after that she might nap on her playmat for 20 minutes around 3/4pm and will generally nap from 5.30ish for half an hour too. All her naps are just on her mat or in my arms after her bottle if she feels tired. I'm anxious that these times won't suit because of school runs, but maybe by then her patterns will have changed naturally anyway? I'm also really worried that she doesn't cry when she wakes up. Thats ok when I'm here with her as her mat is on the sitting room floor and I'm in and out constantly while she sleeps, but on occasion, she will just lie there until somebody comes to pick her up and I'm worried that she won't let you know that she's awake and will be lying there awake wondering why I haven't come to pick her up.

If you forward me your bank account details, I will set up the retainer asap.

Aarrgghh thoughts?! (Lo 9 months)
