Plan for addtional help if you are experiencing sleep depreciation, or foggy mental health when a new born arrives. When you interview a professional Nanny and are going over what is agreed to if you say sleep schedule or just need for 1st new born to the perspective Nanny to help you if the Nanny looks at you and says how do you put a new born on a sleep schedule you are not hiring the right Nanny. So be clear of the duties neccessary and always check their references, a professional Nanny is not a baby sitter. Let's get that straight now and a professional Nanny only works with a contract for the time you both agree to. If you don't know how to write the contract a professional Nanny or the agency you hired the Nanny from will know. THIS is important to remember. It's your children and yes this is important.

Be sure you children have a sleep schedule. A meal schedule. And help getting that going.
Feed your children by 4 or 4:30 their last meal.1. Depending on the season they can play for 30 minutes in or outside. Then they come in for baths or showers . Get pajamas on next. Next they get time on computers, TV, I would let them do that on Mommy and daddy's room all together because it made all of them happy. At 7:20 I would read each of them in a cozy place . At 7:50 I tucked each of them in their own bed with kisses and soft music playing in each of their rooms. Oh by the way you need black out curtains on all their rooms that are already drawn. Soft lights to see for readings then turn away oNd on your way out put on the SOFT MUSIC just low enough to be soothing. Walk away from their bed a d don't look back or say any thing else then close the door to room and move on to tucking the next child in bed. And so forth. Be sure they have gone potty and brush their teeth before the start their Cosy down time in mommy's room with computer or TV age appropriate ,nothing violent, mine chose something on PBS if it was TV, when they started aging to 4 years they all wanted a no violent computer games . Which was fine . No fuss no arguments or crying was ever seen once this schedule started . One time when V. Was 5 and crying becaused she missed mommy I got my cell phone and immediantly called mommy at work (mommy was a surgeon but we always had a fail safe in place. If I couldn't get mommy I would have called Daddy who was a pulmonary specialist at the same hospital and tears were gone in 10 seconds. That only happened once with me as their professional Nanny and I was their Nanny with 4 charge children for 13 years. So trust me your life will change about bedtimes once you put every child from 6 months to 13 years to bed at age appropriate time . THey know and love the sleep schedule. With 4 children there was always a new born in that mix so please don't tell me this won't work. The newborn would be put down no later than 5 or 6 so that was no problem and yes the new born had a little different routine that involved swaddling, getting bottle and a pacifier if they needed one. Then I had plenty of time to get to other child as the family grew. When the new borns came along. Mommy or Daddy were usually home by 8pm at least one of them and I would leave to go home.
It is also important for all meals to be eaten at the same time each day. Your children need to look at the clock and know what happens next if you want your children to thrive. This is critical. It wont be neccessary to complain about over tired babies or children once you implement scheldules your children and you are in charge of knowing.
Your bed time can be different from theirs but children in school need to be falling asleep by 8 if they have school in the morning.
So if you don't want to read the book By Dr. Marc Wessibluth get help for 6 months at least if it's a new born or small child . If your in-laws are your help have them read the book, because somebody will need to get this going for that new baby.
Because the right professional will always have a strong relationship with those parents. No parent needs to worry about their baby or child when they go to work or out of town.
