maternity leave ending soon... but i dont want MIL to take care of my baby

Hi Moms... I dont know what to do. My maternity leave is ending soon, and I will have to go back to work. Initially, I was set on putting my baby in daycare while I'm at the office. However, MIL wants to take care of my baby.... To be honest, after seeing what she did with my sister-in-law's daughter, I can't trust her. My mother-in-law was once caught giving a banana to the baby, who was only 4 MONTHS OLD at the time. Even when caught, she didn't think it was wrong... she said, "What's wrong with giving a banana? It was mashed and just a little bit." Besides that, she would secretly take the baby out even though she had been told not to. Although she has apologized, I still can't trust her. But my husband says I'm being mean if I don't let her take care of our baby, and that I should give her a chance. We've had big arguments about this with no clear resolution. I'm out of ideas on how to keep my mother-in-law from taking care of my baby............. please help :(

Hi there! I can totally understand your concern about leaving your baby with your mother-in-law, especially after what happened with your sister-in-law's daughter. Trust is really important when it comes to leaving your little one in someone else's care. It's great that you initially considered daycare for your baby while you're at work, and if that's still an option you feel comfortable with, it might be worth exploring further. You could also look into other childcare options, like hiring a nanny or finding a trusted relative or friend to help out. It's tough when there's disagreement between you and your husband about this issue, but it's important to have open and honest communication about your concerns. Maybe sit down with him and try to find a compromise that works for both of you and ensures the safety and well-being of your baby. Remember, your baby's safety and your peace of mind are top priorities, so don't feel bad about wanting to make sure they're in the best possible hands. Hopefully, you can find a solution that works for everyone involved. Good luck! https://invl.io/cll6she
