Is it normal to not want to leave your baby with anyone?
Mostly.Normal for most people
Yes, it’s common to feel protective and uneasy about leaving your baby with someone else. It’s okay to take your time, though intense worry that keeps you from getting support may be worth talking through.
A lot of parents feel this way, especially when their baby is very young or they’re still getting comfortable with another caregiver. You don’t have to hand your baby over before you’re ready; starting with someone you trust and a short visit can make it feel less daunting.
People vary: some are happy to share care early, while others need more time. If the fear feels overwhelming or stops you from getting rest or help you want, consider talking with someone you trust or your health care provider. You deserve support, too.
