I feel this every time anyone other than my husband holds my baby 😅

@Ashley I can’t wait to go home!! Then we aren’t having visitors for a month

just say she needs a feed!!

@Danny I did but she was sleeping 😢 in my head I’m like cry mama cry. We are going home tho 😮‍💨

@Vanessa yeah ofc I knew she was fine but it’s that grandma hold that since she doesn’t see her much she wants to hold her as much as possible and I understand that but I can’t help but want my baby back

Yes I would always take mine back to feed or sleep. I didn’t let anyone else hold her for that long until she was 6 months

You can absolutely just take her back, with or without an explanation, saying ‘I have a hard time not holding her and an hour is the max I can handle right now.’ Or something. But someone told me something interesting that has helped me a lot. That trusting my baby with other people, and leaving her with them (close family that I trust) is like a muscle you have to exercise/ practice with or you won’t be able to do it. So my mom comes over and watches the baby while we sleep, or while my husband and I go out for coffee. It was hard at first but it helps us so much to be rested and have some balance

Aww
