1. Nanny paid days off?
--------------------------------------------------------
hpearl - 3/7/2012 10:21 pm

 I was wondering if anyone could educate me on the
 protocol for providing paid sick days for a nanny. Do
 you give them? If so, how many? Also, if I go on
 vacation & give the nanny sufficient advanced notice
 (at least a month), is it commonplace to pay her for
 the days you ask her not to come? I am totally new to
 the nanny world & I want to be fair, but I also don't
 want to be unreasonably over-accommodating. For the
 record, the nanny we hired about 2 months ago just
 recently told me that she is used to 9 paid sick
 days/year, & that we are to pay her when we cancel her
 to go on vacation, even with sufficient notice. 
 Anyone's experiences with this sort of thing is greatly
 appreciated!

 Hello Ladies,
 When did you start giving your babies sippy cups? And how
 long did...

 Hi there, I feel like I have tried every sippy cup
 there is! (Not really, but close.) We first introduced
 sippy cups with water in them at around 7-8 months. The
 girls were curious and took to them right away. We'd
 offer them whenever they had a meal, be it bottle
 and/or solids. We started with these by Munchkin (by
 far our favorite brand). They had soft spouts, but
 required sucking, like a
 
 bottle.http://www.drugstore.com/products/prod.asp?pid=265308&catid=182604&aid=337953&aparam=munchkin_mighty_grip_tra
one immediately, the other in a few
 tries. Now they get water at each meal in the straw
 sippy cup (link below) and milk in the hard spout sippy
 
 cup.http://www.amazon.com/Munchkin-Mighty-Straw-2-Pack-Colors/dp/B001QXCF0SBy
 14 months, we were ready to get rid of the final bottle
 they got, first thing in the morning, and replace it
 with a sippy cup. The girls get this bottle in our bed,
 lying down, so we wanted a spill proof cup. The straw
 wasn't a good option, neither was the hard spout, but
 we loved Munchkin so found one with a soft spout (but
 no handles) and that did the trick.

 at 15 months, they are totally bottle free. We did it
 in stages, as you can see.

 What worked really well with us was a bottle that had
 an attached straw. They thought that this was so cool.
 We started this at 15 months and they still use the
 straw bottles for both milk and water at 21 months. 
 Our kids never took to sippy cups so this is an
 alternative option.
