My mother in law wanted to bring my 16 month old son to family event out of town. Due to work issue, me and hubby can't attend the event. Is it safe to baby in that age travelling without parents? And what should i prepare to make my mom in law easier? They stay for 3 days.

honestly, even though my in-laws are very caring with my child, i was never able to leave my baby with them when she was so young. it is not that i do not trust them, but it was just that i felt one of the parents has to be around, just in case the baby gets uncomfortable. if your baby has spent a lot of time with your MIL till now while you and hubby are not around, i don't think it should be a problem. also, managing the baby at home and managing the baby outside are very different situations. sometimes, babies can get really cranky and uncomfortable away from home, so it can get difficult for yuor MIL too. in the end, talk to her and share your worries with her and tell her that you don't want her to be hassled either. i am sure you guys will reach a decision
