In law bringing baby out

Question

Im a ftm, and since infant care is too expensive, im planning to ask my MIL to take care of my LO when when im done with ML (4 months). Since im currently staying there.For this case, would you let your MIL take your baby out ? To mall, supermarket, wet market etc when youre not around ?If no, how do you tell them nicely not to bring your LO out when youre not around ? Honestly scared for baby’s safety and anything can happen. #advicepls #FTM

while I put my baby in ifc, my parents or in-laws will sometimes look after him on weekends or when ifc is closed. Different preferences I guess, but I am ok with them bringing baby out as long as they don't drive as they don't have baby carseat. They understand and do respect our wishes after we explain to them why. But in your case, if you intend to let your mil look after your baby for an entire day, it may be difficult for her to be cooped up at home with baby for an entire day for 5 days a week. imho it's also not unreasonable for her to want to also head out for fresh air and a breather
