My little girl is 7months. When my partners family are around mine or I'm at theres I'lll leave LO with someone to go the toilet, fetch something or whatever. With my family I will leave the room for hour long periods for space, I guess I just tust them more.my partners family have been asking if they can babysit and I've said no everytime, I breastfeed and shes never had a bottle. I'd have to pump which takes a really long time for me, go through the stress of giving her bottles.. and just trusting someone to not against what I want for her. I think leaving the house without her is a big thing, I also dont work so id be stressing out my baby for the enjoyment of others. My babies also very timid and cries when theres too many people, shes a mummy's girl. Eeryone sees her at least once a week too, sometimes more.
My partners family are big believers in leaving grandchildren with the nans as it gives them time to spend together. I'm still saying no, is there a point where it becomes selfish? She does see her at least 3 times a week, one visit might be 20 mins and another will 4 hours. She does get to spend time with her.

Is not wanting to leave my baby alone with someone selfish?
