I will be honest too…..night nanny, this is something I dream of specially working full time….I love my Frog, my Mico car seat along with Quinny Buzz frame, ADIRI BOTTLES (my lifesavers big time!)along with double electric breast pump, Seventh Generation Diapers and wipes warmer, Fisher Price Swing, my Petunia Pickle bottom Cake Society Diaper Bag, baby bjorn carrier (we have two types light summer version and thicker one original)

I totally disagree!!!!! I’m a mother (1st time) my son sleeps through the entire night, never gave me any sleepless nights, but YES, I had soooo much help. First two weeks from my mother in law, next two weeks from my mom!!! Then I hired a full-time nanny after I went back to work! So what??? A person does what she can, and what’s better than having a good rest before having to wake up at 5am only to get back home from work at 9pm???? Do you think it’s easy to not be able to spend every minuite with your child? oh, and also get a Masters Degree at the same time?? It sux! But you know what? Eventually I will be able to spend more time with him and he will know that everthing I do is for HIM! So, I believe that very opinionated people that assume Jessica Alba is a bad mother are STUPID! You wish you could get a nanny yourselves!

Unpadded Ring sling (like Taylormade or sleepingbaby) and a plethora of other carriers. Right now I’m in love with my babyhawks!

Hyland’s Teething Tablets (homeopathic soothing tablets for teething pain)

Fuzzi Bunz (saved us a fortune! and I love how soft they are).

Me– I’m nursing and therefor indispensable

A sling and several “onesies.”

Jessica probably thinks like a non-parent right now, and has not yet had the chance to fall in love with her baby. I know I cahnged when I had my babies, *I* wanted to be there, I was driven to be there. She may well find that she wouldnt be able to sleep through the night, knowing they were up, anyway. People change so much when they become parents. Any sort of selfishness usually goes right out the window.
If she has a nanny, she will not be any different than the hundred and one other celebrities who do. But I would count on the fact that once that little one is here, who she is now will be gone in the blink of a teeny little eye.

I think everyone needs to give Jessica Alba a break. Everyone says things BEFORE they have the baby that they will do or not do…and most of the time as soon as that baby is born ALL of those things change. And I mean that with every aspect of parenting….I use to say that my son WOULD be potty trained by two..(HAHA that flew out the window) And I also use to say that my child would not act like a wild animal like some children….I’m just trying to point out that before you meet your baby you have all these plans and expectations, and they do change when you finally have the baby!

I want to point out that Jessica said that that the nanny will be for “when the baby first comes home” to “help her (Jessica) get acclimated”. In otherwords, it sounds like she only plans on having a night nanny for the first few weeks. Just about every mom I know who has a baby or a toddler has had help during the first few weeks. Granted, it’s usually their mom and/or mother-in-law, but the fact is that they do have some sort of help.

Also, who’s to say that Jessica won’t get up to nurse the baby at night? J-LO and Mark Anthony admitted to having round-the-clock baby nurses in People magazine when they introduced Max and Emme. However, they also said that they get up with Max and Emme every time they need to be fed (and Max and Emme are bottlefed to boot!)! True, Jessica DID say she’d have the nanny “take care of the baby at night”, but that doesn’t neccesarily mean the nanny will be doing ALL of the nighttime care. Keep in mind that Cash may very well want to help out as well!

thanks for those people that see my point…that is why I admire Keri Russel so much because it seems she’s pretty hands on and admitted that they didn’t leave her son with a sitter until he’s 5 or so months. Even if I had the resources, I wouldn’t have traded those sleepness nights to cater to my son’s needs.

1. lactation consultant. if i hadn’t had her in the first 48 hours i would have lost my mind.
2. baby sling — i wore my wee one everywhere.
3. rolling bassinet. better than an arm’s reach co-sleeper since it could go wherever i did.

and as far as jessica alba … as much as i appreciated the midnight bonding, there are some nights where i know i was so sleep-deprived and just at the end of my rope that having someone else to trust the wee one to for a few hours would have been a godsend.

I think that the point that the other moms were trying to explain about Jessica is—WHY would you already be LAZY, good lord she hasn’t even has the baby yet! Money or no money, those ABSOLUTELY ARE IMPORTANT bonding moments with your baby and paying someone to do the actual work is selfish and lazy. Sorry but it must be said. Why even have children if you are going to have someone else “help” right off the bat!This is all part of it. Being tired,and yes sometimes being cranky. Welcome to motherhood Jessica.
