You should do what you need to do for both baby and you. If you felt you really needed the break, it’s better to ask for help instead of drowning in bad feels while sleep deprived
People handle things differently… you’re not a bad mom just because you admit you needed a break. Some people won’t admit that and lose their temper or just find themselves drained
I personally still have trouble letting my daughter stay at my mother’s. My son has never spent a night away from me. My new part time job is the most I really get away

Of course it is....
I don't know of, nor have I ever heard of the "3 year rule".....
If breastfeeding ... just make sure you have pumped enough for the time you plan to be away......
Trust me.... (most) grandmas LOVE to take care of babies... (grandpas.... not so much = HONEY THE BABY JUST THREW-UP ON ME.....)

Making sure you are rested and refreshed is taking care of baby. You do what you gotta do Mama. Don't let anyone tell you you're parenting wrong.

I see nothing wrong with that. And you'll have two of them to watch the baby, not just one. I don't see why they couldn't handle it. They were probably cherish their time with the baby and have some great memories.

I don’t know about some magical age of three. ‘Ideally’ it depends on if it’s a safe, healthy environment, if the baby was already used to being bottle fed, and if they’d had a chance to bond beforehand.

I’ve never heard of this age 3 shit. Someone made that up

Don’t listen to them, you do what’s best for you and your baby and I bet your mom loved it too

Your life you know what you need and who you can trust.

I wouldn't unless it was young enough to not remember anything. Like a baby.

That doesn’t make any sense. If you need a break, there’s no reason a trusted family member shouldn’t let you have that break—unless they just don’t want to watch the baby.

You should do what parents said...there is a reason!
