Mother inlaws wants my baby

I think that it is too soon for her to take your baby.... Why don't you tell her to come and spend the night with you and yall can talk about tips on how to take care of the baby. Make it a girls day in with the baby or something. I dont' know if you get along with her but I think you should do that. Maybe you will get to know her even better!!! Who knows. I hoped I helped. BYE

3 weeks was way too early for me to leave my kids with anyone else. Neither of them stayed overnight at my parents' house until they were at least 3 months old. Around 8 weeks I could leave them with my sister for a couple of hours, but I wouldn't go far away and didn't want her to take them out of my home while I was gone. Its up to you when you are ready to leave your child in someone else's care, if your mother-in-law has a problem with how you want to do things, its her problem not yours.

I kinda had the same problem. I would tell her that is too early. You would like some more time (alone) with your baby. Sometimes you gotta be a little rough with them. Stand your ground if you think its too early. Good luck.

It is way to early for her to be spending the night away from you. Your husband should be the one talking to his mother on this topic. You need your own bonding time with her. My son is 15 months old and he has been away from me 2 nights. Calmly ask her to remember how she was when her children were young and respect that you need this time with your daughter.

It's YOUR baby. My take on this may annoy others but she has absolutely NO rights whatsover to YOUR baby. It is up to you and your husband or boyfriend or partner to decide together who (if anybody) you want around your child or children, for what length of time, and if you even want anybody with your children without you there. If you're a single mom, then it is entirely up to you and only you.

I believe EVERYBODY should pay attention to this and understand. Someone else's child is NOT yours and unless they are your child, you NEVER have any entitlement or right to even ask. It is a privelage and the only way to get that privelage is to do what the parent wants, which may include staying away until that parent is READY to share their child with you.

I do not see what is so hard to understand about this. Anybody who is EVER grabby with my daughter gets the instant heave-ho. If I deem you are a good friend and trustworthy, by all means, but if I am suspicious of you for any reason, nope. I also don't care if you're related to me, a good friend, a casual friend, an acquaintance, or a stranger. Whatever you are, if you do not respect my decisions, then you don't get any privelages.

The big question is are YOU comfortable with her having the baby? My family lives about 3 hours away and my husband's parents live in Texas, so obviously I don't have that problem, but if YOU are comfortable with her having the baby over night or over the weekend, then I don't see what the problem is. If you're not comfortable with her having the baby, do as others suggested and have her come to you.

You do what you're comfortable with. I got my granddaughter overnight when she was a week old, but everyone feels differently. My daughter was comfortable with me keeping the baby, you may not feel that way.
On the other hand, don't make the grandmother feel alienated. Maybe spend a day with her and let her take care of the baby while you're there. That way you can see how she handles the baby and feel more at ease when you do let baby spend the night.
I take from your name your daughter's name is Leah. My second daughter is named Leah too!

I didn't let my kids stay over night anywhere until they were 2. I'm over protective. The was my moms house lol. That is way too early to let someone else take the baby. If you don't feel right then don't let her. Shes your baby and you can choose when and where she can spend the night. Tell her thanks for the offer but I enjoy waking up with the baby during the night. Its our bonding time. One day in the future I may need you to help me out one night but I am still enjoying my time with her.

The baby is too young and too early to be separated from you. I think you better talk it out with your mother in law, suggest her to sleep in your house so she could spend the night with your baby.

Communication is important. Try to work out a win-win solution with her, see if she can accommodate with your request. All mother-in-laws are eager to see their grandchildren, but certain things cannot be rushed.
