A member asked:

What should i do if my baby is always more attached to her nanny than to me?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Be patient: Babies will frequently go through a period where they are attached to one parent (or the nanny) over another. It passes. Just keep showing her that you love her. It's not personal!

A member asked:

Hello, I hired a nanny to look after my newborn. And it seems that she pats him quite hard to burp. I do not think the baby is in distress but just checking to see if any harm can be caused such as brain damage?
