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.

i feel going with the second option is good if you are very sure that it will not cause any issues in the family. simple things such as who is tended to more and when by the maid and when by the MIL could also lead to problems and jealousy. if you have another relative nearby who is willing to look after the baby, go for that option because baby will get undivided attention and it will also not give rise to any conflict within the family.
