I am 1 week postpartum and am having a battle with myself. When it comes to his family being around the baby especially his mother I get this feeling like " only my mom can touch him, only my mom knows how to do it". I don't know why I feel this way but I feel like my feelings are obvious. Is anyone else feeling this way?

Hi Rhiannon, Dont worry, you definitely are not alone. I felt the same way and unknowingly made it very obvious. I think we can trust our own mothers since we are examples of their handy work :-) I still find myself calling my mom for advise before even considering MIL.

I get it! But remeber, the more people to love your baby the better. No grandma can take the place of a mom. Be careful, that kind of resentment can show. Try to make up for it by being especially sweet to your MIL. Ask her questions. Go for dates with just the two of you. Call her and bring the baby over saying you know that the baby wants to see her. Your MIL's only trying to help. Take advantage
