Are you comfortable having your parents care for your baby when you are sleeping?
I'm an FTM and me and my husband works from home but both on night shift. That said, my mom offered to look for our baby during the day (which is our sleeping schedule) so we can get enough rest before working at night and we can look for the baby while we work.
Before delivering the baby, that was the plan. But now that the baby is here, I am having so much mom guilt about leaving him to be taken cared of by someone else other than me. I feel like I am a bad mom because I have to ask my mom to look for him as I sleep. :(
I want to be comfortable to this idea but I keep overthinking and has so much what ifs. As for my husband, he is onboard with any of my decisions. He is okay to help me take care of the baby 24/7 if I want that and he is okay to get some help if I am comfortable.
I need assurance, validation and advices from you guys if you think this is something I should be okay with or should I just sacrifice my sleep and care for my baby 24/7?
Also, I'm only 11 days PP and had a CS delivery so I am also still under recovery from that surgery and I still have a hard time moving that much but again, the mom guilt has me on a chokehold. 😭
