  Honestly I think it's to early to make any changes in what your doing- as soon as I figure Sloan out ( ten weeks also) she goes and changes.
  
  That being said she sleeps well at night after a fuss period between 5-8. GL

  DS1 is an angel for almost everyone but me. Kids love to push their mother's buttons.

  I agree with others' previous words. DD1 ears better and sleeps better in her at-home daycare place. She sees other kids eating these healthy great foods and ears great! As soon as she sees me it's like "I want a lollipop, fruit snacks, etc..." Plus I think she is more stimulated there, with all the attention and activities always around her. This leads to better naps there as well. She even asks my babysitter to go to bed! And she's 2.5. I'm ok with all this-I've had to learn to accept it. Yes, as soon as you figure them out, they will change it up on you at this age. Little buggers!

  I'm just going to tell you all this now. 
  
  Your children are not going to behave for you the way they do for others. 
  
  

  Case in point: James will be lovely all day long. No fuss, no mess, no crying, no screaming. I will walk through the door and its like the devil inhabits my child. 
  
  Ethan: Happy baby- I come home and he's fucking pissy baby. 
  
  and they only do it for me, and its always been like this. Awesome sause to come home from work to. 

  
  

  (Zerioing in on the sleep: James is 30 min of crying when we do our bedtime routine. Karen put him down tonight with out a peep!)

  My mom used to say this when we were little. She was a SAHM and we rarely had babysitters. But if we did, it was my grandparents. My mom wanted to know while we were always angels for them lol
  
  My daycare lady said she can get the infants on a good napping schedule. She said they don't mind napping when the older kids are because they don't want to miss anything.

  DS1 (17+ months) goes to in home daycare. He naps the same, easy way there as he does at home for me.
  He has less sleep, and more disturbed sleep at grandma's. (she is always checking that he is still breathing, or when he coughs or fusses and that disturbs him)
  
  DS2 will fall asleep in DH's arms a lot easier than with me. He usually fusses.
  
  Most BFed babies fuss when mommy has them because they know they can get boob. But with daddy, that's not an option.

  Little man is beyond fussy every night around 8 pm. Tonight MIL had asleep in 3 secs...no fussing. While it pissed me off, I was happier that I didn't have to deal with pissed off baby for 2 hours fighting sleep.
  He's always better for others. I think it's bc he knows I'll give in and give him more attention, more lovies, more rocking, more boob, etc.....

  I have to agree with pp. DS1 is an angel with everyone once eh walks out of the premises. In the house he just likes to see how far he can get before I lose my shit.

  This. Sometimes I like getting out of the house just because I know he usually behaves better in front of others.

  Well, all of this makes me feel better about leaving LO with my mom and DH when I go back to work. Hopefully she'll be less fussy for Nanny. She likes to impress others when we have visitors she's super happy, calm, smiley. When it's just me and her she likes to be a grumpy toad.
