Question Category: Childcare I dont want to leave my baby for the weekend
Anonymous asked 4 days ago

I have an 5 month old baby who is the light of my life. I’ve always wanted to be a mother as long as I can remember and it took my husband and I 3 years of fertility headaches to have him. Of recent my husband and in-laws have been really pressuring me to leave my 5 month old son with my in-laws for the weekend and I am just not comfortable with it. The last time I left him with my parents for 1 day, and my mother did not even give him the breastmilk I had expressed but inside mixed formula and overfed him because he was crying, then he had colic all night and didn’t want to breastfeed for some days. My mother in law likes to have us visit and she truly loves him. She has even gone as far as buying a crib in her house and has been asking us to go out and leave him with them. My husband keeps telling me that it’s healthy for me to spend some time away from our baby. I just want to be with him all the time. I dont like leaving him with anyone, which is why I am happy I am not working now. I just don’t know if I ready to be away from him for so long. What do you think mamas?
