Babysitting

Yeah, it’s normal. I didn’t leave my first for more than an hour or so until I had to go back to work when he was nearly 1. Don’t plan on leaving my newest wee baby until I have to either! My in laws were the same but they got over it!

I didn't leave my first for at least a year and then around 9 months for my second xx

At 11 weeks? Absolutely normal!! At almost 8 months I still won’t leave my baby with anyone besides her dad. Never trust anyone who tries to make you doubt your maternal instincts, it’s very natural to want your baby close to you

I’ve told them (plenty of times) that I’m not ready to leave her with anyone just yet, and the responses I get are awful like “ we have x amount of kids we know what we’re doing” or, “I am her aunty/gran you know” or, “it’s only for a few hours” it’s so exhausting having to repeat myself and feeling forced into a corner! Thank you guys for making me not feel like I’m crazy/the only one!😩

You are supposed to be with your baby. Don't fight it. Our modern world is horrible. Go back to your job,.go out, put the baby in the crib rather than carrying it around... blablabla. Listen to your's and the baby's needs.
