Trust MIL take care of baby

Hi mummies, im currently 7 months pregnant and living with my in laws. Those that let their in laws take care of their baby, how do you make yourself trust them to take care of your baby, once your maternity leave ends ? I dont know why for some reason im very scared of letting my in law take care of my baby when im out for work when ML ends. For fear something will happen to the baby, or theres emergency touch wood, baby choking then she wont know what to do and i dont know how i should feel if she want to bring baby out without me. Like to supermarket etc. I thought of sending my baby to IFC once she turn 4 months cs like there they are more trained to handle babies cause they have daily experience? Than a mil that never take care of a baby before. but 1. Placement super hard to get 2. I scared i will burden my husband on financial wise. 3. I feel like a bad mom for sending my child to school at such a very young age. Those mummies that have in law taking care of their baby can give me some advice or share your experience so far. Im always overthinking for the baby’s safety. #FTM #advicepls

Confinement period is the probation period as it is the hardest. As baby gets older, things are “easier” per se. I guess its normal that you feel insecure about your mil taking care of your baby and the guilt of sending baby to ifc, cause I feel the same too. Maybe you can also try bonding with your mil and build the trusting rapport. It might help.
