my sister in law keeps asking that when I have my baby she can watch him overnight when he is like a month old! I don't think I'll be comfortable with any one watching over night till he is like 2. I think it's weird how much she wants an infant overnight. and it's the same with my mother in law. they want to watch him overnight. I don't see why they need a baby who wakes up few hours? to me it's creepy!! plus I will be breastfeeding when I told the sister she said you can pump. does she really think I'm going to sit for hours and pump enough milk for the baby to be gone overnight when I don't even think he should be gone. it's stressing me out! I know it's going to be a fight when I say no they can't have him overnight.
@mhaley1223, glad to hear :) I feel like his family thinks I'm crazy because I don't think my son will need a baby sitter. I get so tired of hearing just wait you will be begging for a break. I'm just like all mom's are different. I don't want to leave my son for a few hours if I don't absolutely need to. anywhere I go if it will be a while I don't see why he can't come. I'm not going to go out with friends and party. and I don't think I should leave a baby with grandparents for a few hours just because they Want to watch him. I don't get why I can't be there when they see him. like why you need a baby alone so bad?
my baby is almost three mmonths old and I still haven't left her longer than five min to run to the store a block away.
With my first son my mom stayed with me for a month and told me to rest as she would feed and change him, to me she was a blessing because it helped my recovery and rest up after labor & with my second the same she kept my two year old for awhile because I had to get a c section so she helped a lot so did my sister & idk maybe let them help out if your feeling tired, so you can rest up as well. My husband says happy momma=happy life lol but everyone is different you do what you gotta do
The fact still stands that you're breastfeeding, and there is no way to pump enough to last a night for your baby or even a few days. If they have that comment you and you're okay with him seeing your baby you can always say that he can come to you, and that's final. No ifs ands or buts. No one else has say in it
@tatiananoelani, what worries me though is that my husband and I are currently separated and he is staying with his sister. I'm scared that she will be like we'll he is the baby's father he should have him overnight. but I don't even think that is okay I think the baby would still be too young to stay away from me even if it's with the dad.
Exactly, you're mama bear, let them get mad but at the end of the day it's your decision for your baby. I went through the same shit
thank you!! it's going to be hard but I just don't think he needs to stay overnight with anyone but his mom! @mamamj
yeah that is a little weird and if they want to feed the baby just get a bottle and feed only once a day or when you visit. I do that with my husband so he can bond with our baby girl. I see you bing like me and probably get bad anxiety with when the thought of leaving your baby! Everyone used to tell me I can baby sit but after so long of me saying no they just stopped asking haha. I just visit often so they get their fill.
