She actually said to me the other day my opinion doesn’t matter. It was about the baby napping. Her reason was she is home all the time with the baby and she knows what’s best for him.

Trust her, if you've entrusted her with caring for the baby during the day. I get you're passionate about the best way to do things. Apply these when it's your job. Apply these when you're asked for advice. Be sparing with unsolicited advice on how others do their job. With respect, lead by example. Show her you respect how she does the role you entrusted her to do. Obviously, unless she's doing something that borders on criminal neglect, abuse, etc.!!
Big picture, Criticism is one of the Four Horsemen of The Apocalypse.

Consider this advice from a therapist--

I have homework for you! Would you consider giving NO advice or opinions for a month EXCEPT when requested OR when talking to dependents (children, employees)?
