who should take care of baby

I will be giving birth in another 5 months and my sister-in-law just found out she is pregnant too. Thus, my mother-in-law will be the one taking care of the babies. However, my MIL has stated her preference to stay with SIL instead of staying in my house. Which option is better in your opinion? 1. Get my relative, aunt who stays nearby to take care of my baby so baby can enjoy one-to-one attention. 2. Appoint a maid and share with SIL, to assist my MIL to take care of my baby and hers. My MIL has helped me to take care of my elder kid and so far I am comfortable with her.

How comfortable are you with your aunt who lives nearby? If I were in your shoes and am close to my aunt, I would opt for the first option. I feel that it will be tiring for your MIL to take care of two babies even with the help of a maid. And sharing a maid with SIL may be tricky (over the work distribution and stuff). It is also better if your aunt can help attend to the baby fully as infants would require a lot of attention and comforting. Having just one or two consistent primary caregivers will be less disruptive and help them feel more secure.
