A. it's not separation but it is the love and caring that the mother inlaw wanted to give.so it's not that the mother should worry because the mother still loves the baby.

A. Discuss it mutually and come to an amicable solution which is good for the baby.Baby needs the care and warmth of a mother.No one can substitute that for a baby.For a better tomorrow for whatever reason dont keep the baby from a normal upbringing.

A. toxic mother in law I should say you have every right to hold your baby hug your baby etc no other person have any right to say a word about your motherhood. don't let things effect your motherhood just do whatever you feel right and do what is healthy for your baby

A. My MIL is the same. She wants the baby 24 hours and keeps saying she has not got to play with the baby. If I give her the baby, she won't let my 2 month old sleep and will keep playing with her along with FIL. FIL has such a loud voice. She will keep baby in her lap but will not let me hold her. I have stood firm and even locked my room many times cos she will burst into my room everytime baby cries. She wants the baby all to herself but I am the mom and the baby should bond with me primarily. Moreover my SIL supports MIL completely and together they will do anything to undermine me. You have to stay strong and show them you are more than capable of taking care of your baby.

Shahina khathoon sheikhMom of a 6 yr 2 m old boy5 years ago

A. please never let her do that to you ...as he is 3.5 months old its the best. time for you and your baby to bond ...same happened with me ...as i was ftm i dint know what to do ,and now my baby always prefers her 😖it hurts but patience is the key...

A. i dont think thats a nice thing to do. babies dont just cry for sleeping and feeding, they also cry to get comfort and warmth from their mothers.
