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

I feel that there's no good answer to this. IFC means your kid is likely to fall sick often, and you'll need to find adhoc help, eg in laws or your parents, or take leave when that happens. I've seen my nephew keep falling sick at ifc, so it can be quite traumatising. Mil take care means less occasions of falling sick, but you can't control what she does,and honestly,you'll need to close one eye if it doesn't hurt the baby. Simply no good answer imo, not even if u hire a helper or nanny. It's just what you're willing to accept, coz there will be pros and cons either way.
