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

there must be a reason why u dont trust your in-laws. if thats the case, suggest u send to IFC aft ML ends. i always hear lotsa conflicts from friends who let in laws or even own parents take care of their bb. due to different era, older generation tends to prefer to still adopt the older ways e.g drink water, close window off fan and wrap bb in thick clothing, start solid early, give hotter milk than prescribed, just use hot water to kill germs after washing bottle etc. even though they have heard of the way things are done differently now and the reasoning behind. its quite agonising when you think they agree with you but you found out they stil do the old ways when you are not around. that hurts the relationship between you guys too.
