MIL or infant care?

Right from the beginning, my MIL said that she don’t want to take care of my baby. Reason is that she was tired taking care of my SIL’s kid and she don’t want to lose her freedom/wants to go for holidays. She even told me and my hubby to have only 1 kid cos it’s a lot of hard work taking care of a baby/kid. Now that my maternity leave is ending and I have already looked for an infant care centre and put a deposit, my MIL suddenly said that she wants to take care of my baby until he turns 18 months then put in childcare. Should I take up her offer or still stick to infant care? TBH I am worried that my baby will fall sick often in infant care. He is also very active. But I am worried that my MIL will change her mind again. She is also taking care of my SIL’s kid (He falls sick often too.) Confused mummy here. What should I do?

Since your MIL has turned you down before, it means that she may just raise the flag suddenly one day. Not only that, she will have the upper hand on you, if shes not happy, she can bring up the child as a threat. So I think it is better to send to infant care. If the infant care is closed and the child cant attend infant care due to sickness then send to your MIL as an alternative. I am sure the hygiene in infant care is much better than our own homes. They mop, sanitize everyday which we dont.
