baby choose MIL over Mother
Anyone’s MIL take care of baby? Will baby stick to MIL a lot and not want the Mother? I’m so scared this will happen one day.. baby is 5 months old now and MIL will take care of her till 18 months
My baby is 9 months and my MIL helped to take care of him since birth. And yes, my lo sticks to my MIL a lot and doesn’t want me sometimes. For e.g he will always reach out to my MIL and husband instead of me. But i guess is to look on the brighter side that he is okay with other people, and everyone can help to share your load too :) you don’t have to stick 24/7 with your baby and having your personal time is important too. If you really want to have good bonding with your child, then of course have to put in more effort in playing with him etc. i’m sure kids will still eventually know who’s the mother too xD
Read moreDepends. My brother sticks around with grandma more as grandma took care of him since young and I stick with my mom as my mom pamper me alot since young. I have a baby and she's closer to her daddy as daddy took care of her more than me.
My MIL is taking care of my baby during weekdays. Initially I thought baby will only want her after I go back to work. But I was wrong. Baby still wants me and my husband. Just try to spend more time with your baby when you are at home.
Yup... my LO super sticky to MiL.. anything he feel unsafe he will dash to my mil instead of me.. feel sad sometimes but more of grateful for the elderly willing to spend physical strength n time n love to take care him.
I felt it's good to rotate the caregiver.. It helps baby to be friendly and easy to take care.. As long as your bb is friendly n receptive to everyone, it doesn't matter if your bb is mainly take n care of by your mil :)
Make sure you have constant contact with your child. My grandma stays with us and was a big part of my childhood. But she could never never replace my own mother.
MIL is taking care of my lo but we are bringing her back everyday back home after work to spend some time with her so far no issue of baby sticking to MIL. :)
Hi, try spending little more time with your baby. With having bonding time with the baby daily, it will help the baby in being closer with you more often :)
So Long as you spend time daily with your baby, baby will bond with you. They will always have the instinctive knowledge of who their mummy is
Don't think so, babies naturally stick to their moms but of course you have to spend lots of time and bond with your child(:
