I need advice
I feel so pressured by everyone to hand my baby over for a night/overnight stay with my MIL. There's nothing wrong with my MIL, I'm sure she'd do great, but I don't think my baby is ready for that and I'm definitely not ready! My son is 3 months old and cries until he turns bright red and coughs/gags when he's with someone else and remotely tired/hungry/cranky. He doesn't like taking the bottle and will go on a mini hunger strike!! My MIL and husband (even some of my friends!) tell me to just hand him over-- he'll get over it... I just don't feel comfortable doing that with him getting that upset :-( 3 months feels too soon for us. I wish someone would see my side. My MIL lives almost 2 hours away and has only seen my baby 3-4 times since he was born, I wish she'd make more of an effort to get to know him, maybe that'd help?
Idk, am I supposed to just deal with my feelings and my baby's meltdown and let someone else watch him to make my husband feel better? Or should I trust my gut and wait until he's just a little older?
Also: I've left him with my husband while I go workout and have had to come home early because he had such a crazy meltdown :-/ so idk why he can't understand my hesitation.
Thanks everyone. I took some time to explain how I felt to my husband again and he understands me now. I also feel less crazy after reading your comments, lol. I'm not going to let myself be pushed into anything I'm not ready for!
