I have a 6 month old baby (my first) and have only left him a couple of times (max 2-3 hours) with my Mum at the moment. Whilst he's so young I've not wanted to leave him for long. It's starting to get to the point where we have things coming up this year that we need childcare for (weddings - keeping in touch days at work etc) and I've realised I'm feeling quite nervous about my in laws looking after him. I have a great relationship with them but I just feel a lot more comfortable with my own Mum & Dad looking after him. Perhaps it's because I can be more honest with them. Is this normal? Any tips for feeling more relaxed about childcare?
