My baby is 6 months old but i've got a really strong connection w her. it's been only us since the beginning basically no one else helped or was there for us pretty much never. Ofc sometimes people would want to see her but never nothing much. but now the grandparents want to have her more often however i don't know how to feel about it, as i only feel that she's safe when she is with me around. so it's giving me bad anxiety thinking anything could happen and im not there. Baby could choke what if they don't know how to stop it? what if the baby cries bc misses me and then i feel guilty for letting her go? 😭 probably this is stupid for most of u but i can't help but feel that i shouldn't do it.

Do what you feel comfortable, it is perfectly natural to feel this way as she's is your child. However, if you want her to spend more time with her grandparents at this stage then perhaps spending more regular time with them whilst you are there also would help ease your anxiety as you can see how they are with her. Agree that you'll be the one dropping off / picking up so that you are in control of how long they have her for too might also help.
