How bad is this for my daughter? (11 months)?

Question

I work nights, and i have family who live close with their own families. they help me out many nights (id say 5 per week). they will watch my daughter for me from about 430-1030 or so. she goes to sleep around 8. how bad is it for her that i will come and pick her up and put her back to bed at our house? i feel so bad having to do this, but i have no other options

Answer 1

i dont think its the sleeping interuptions that bad for her. i think its the fact that you arent really there for her right now. i mean dont get me wrong i knowww its hard to be a mother and work and everything but when you are off make sureeee you spend as much time with her as possible because mother-baby-bonding is a hugeeee deal. but you sound like a grreat mother because your actually being concerned!

Answer 2

Don't worry; her sleep will be fine.  Be proud of providing a safe environment while you are at work and be proud of providing for her needs.

Answer 3

its not bad at all. if she doesnt go back to sleep thats your problem lol. it doesnt hurt her though

Answer 4

not bad at all, you're doing what you have to do to support your daughter. chances are, it bothers you a ton more than her!!!

Answer 5

it's important to do what works best for you. no two familes will raise their children the same. i would just make sure you are there when she wakes, so she isn't scared about the new surroundings.

Answer 6

As long as she goes back to sleep no big deal.

Answer 7

If this is your only option for taking care of your child, I say do what works for you darlin'!
