I really need advice. I have a 6 month old baby. My mom has been wanting to watch her and come pick her up to spend time with her. My husband says I have to start small because I haven’t let anyone watch her yet.

Well… one day I let my mom watch her while I run to Walmart. My sister went to visit and said my daughter was screaming and my mom couldn’t consol her. And that she kept trying to give a pacifier and my daughter wouldn’t take it. Here is the other thing. I’m have tried to tell my mom what my daughter likes and don’t like but she seems to brush me off and has this “I know what I’m doing demeanor”.

She also has a tendency to hold the pacifier in my daughters mouth trying to make her take it when she’s screaming. I’ve explained to her that it makes my daughter cry worse! It’s almost like holding your hand over her mouth.

Is it terrible that I don’t trust my own mother with my daughter? Even my sister agreed that our mother just doesn’t have the patience like she thinks she does. My conscious is telling me to wait until my daughter is older. Do I try again and let my mom learn to console her when crying?
