Can I have an advice once again from this Mamas here!

FTM. My husband works a lot. He works to provide for both of us and to get bills paid. I stopped working since I got pregnant. Now, his coworker told me that “I need to give up the baby” so I can sleep. That’s his peace of advice to him. The problem is I am not close to MIL. We do not get along and Unfortunately she’s the one who will be helping us. For 3-4weeks. I know it sounds too long but I already suck it up that she is coming. I just need to put myself to be brave to give rules and regulations when it comes to my baby. If she snap. I will send her home.

Btw, when my husband told me that piece of advice of his friend. That did not made me happy. I suddenly think that I will give my baby to my MIL so I can sleep. I’d rather not sleep.

Also, she’s a hippie (I’m not discriminating her) BUT her self hygiene is not so good either. Imagine that in the winter with a newborn.

What would be your advise for me as mom that has kids and first time moms out there. How did you manage to sleep?

I also think that even I am sleepy. I won’t be unless it’s my husband’s that keeping an eye on the baby.

I’m planning to buy a swing as well, if it will help me and the baby and my husband.

In fact I really don’t know what else my MIL will help me because she does not cook my food. She will take care of her son for sure and I am grateful for that.
