Your child won’t lose the bond with the mother. But of course, they will start to also be close to their main caregiver (your mil once starts working), and because of the time spent as well as your mil addressing his needs most of the time, he may sometimes seek comfort to your mil. It is all normal. Don’t be stressed, just spend the time that you have with the baby after work, baby will reciprocate accordingly. Your bond with baby is so much stronger than you think it is. Don’t get upset if he may seem to want your mil at times over you, because she did after all take care of him in the day too.
