You don't have to worry. I was afraid of the same thing when my son was younger. He always knew who I was. Now, I watch my best friends baby. I literally have him more then she does most days. He loves me and everything, but his eyes twinkle when he sees her. It has been this way for 2 months now. He is 3 1/2 months old. Just have grandma do things your way. Our problem now is I feed him baby food with a spoon and she is busy and doesn't have time to so he won't eat it for her because she gives it to him from a feeder bottle and he likes his spoon. Just make sure you are on the same page with grandma. He will be fine and so will you. Good Luck and congrats.

My son was 9 weeks old when I went back to work. I had a long commute and worked full time. I would leave home at 4, before the baby woke up. I cried the whole way to work every day. I would work my eight hours, and drive home. I'd get home around 5.

Now, to your question: Your baby will not forget who you are! My son would cry until his daddy gave him to me. He was on a breastmilk only diet, and would nurse for the rest of the evening. Partly for the milk, but mostly for me.

I was very flattered by this, at first. I couldn't do anything other than drive, work, and nurse/cuddle the baby. I only lasted a month back at work full-time. I quit and found a part-time job from home and found I was much happier, and found that the bills still got paid.

I went to work exactly 6 weeks after my daughter was born. She was premature as well and that made it even worse to go back to work. However it was all ok...I left her with my mom from 8am in the morning until 7pm in the evening and she still remembered mommy. That is a bond that a child will never forget and she will always remember mommys smell.

Our children do not forget us. He will remember your smell and your voice. Have your grandmother swaddle him in one of your shirts along with his baby blankey. Also you can get a little recorder with your voice so it can play every hour for 5 mins or so. That should help make you feel better. In the long run what you are doing is a great thing. Praise God that you are strong and smart to think this way and do what is best for your child. Good luck and I am sure you are both going to be just fine!

For him to forget you were his mommy he'd have to know you were in the first place.

There is no mystical bond connecting mother and child and he's far too young to connect with any concepts of who people are.

He knows tones, food, and warmth. That's all.

As long as you make sure the people watching him love and care for him as you do he'll be fine.

His brain and body are changing and growing faster then anything has a right to. In about 6-8 months he'll get the concept of mommy and connect it to you.

For now don't panic.

Babies have a special bonding with their mother. He is not going to forget you are his mommy. Trust me. I stayed home for the 6 weeks and than went back to work full time and my son has never had a problem distinguishing who his mommy was.

I've been in childcare for many years. I worked with one baby that I was there when she got up in the morning, and mom was gone for almost 12 hours a day. She still knew mom and lit up when she got home. Now I'm a nanny for a baby that dad and grandma were the primary care givers for a while, and now I am. She still lights up when she sees mom and dad. She also gets all excited to see me. I promise that your son will still know you and love you. It's great that he has family to take care of him, and I'm sure this will be harder on you than on him. Rest assured he will know who his mom is. Good Luck!

I work full time - i went back to work when my daughter was 6 weeks old (being watched by my father in law and neighbor). She definately knew who her mommy was! Don't worry about that. It's natural for a baby to know who their parents are.

Your son will not forget you kids know who there mommy is. When you see him your time will just be that more precious. Your son will be so happy to see you when you come home and all your hard work will be paid off with that smile or recognition that you are home
