He is 7m and he screams every time she comes over (which is weekly). He looks at her and starts hysterically crying then starts to calm down then looks at her again and starts crying etc etc etc for about 20-30mim until he calms down. Then for about an hour I have to hold him/play with him in front of her until he starts smiling at her, and about 2h later she can go near him, maybe even pick him up. If I leave the room or MIL goes near him too quick he starts screaming.
We tell MIL he is like that with everyone so she doesn't get upset but he isn't. He is totally fine with everyone else.
Apparently DSD was the same with my MIL when she was a baby up to about when she was 2.
My problem is - I am going back to work when he turns 1 and MIL will be looking after him twice a week. This already is stressing me out, I can't think of leaving him if he gets upset like that every time.
Is there anything I can do now???....
