No for me because there is a chance your MIL not aware of SIDS like we do. Because we have certain way of taking care of baby that she just doesn’t get and could offend her. Not because she wants to bond more, nothing wrong with grandma bonding with grandkid. I know sometimes our hormones made us overthink but really, if their intention is just purely to help there is nothing wrong with it. No matter how baby is being taken care of he/she will always know who their Mum is. No co-sleep can break that bond easily. Decision is up to you, but if you are worried baby will recognise other people as their Mum, don’t worry it won’t happen that easily. It is true what they said, it takes a village to raise a child. Don’t be afraid to accept help and don’t let it makes you think you are any less of a parent. It’s NOT TRUE. Remember that mental health, enough rest, is important for new parents so that you can raise a healthy and happy baby as well ❤️
