Hi Rahjah

I know the feeling of apprehension! I've only just started leaving DS with my mum so I can go out for a couple of hours. For me, I established a pre-sleep routine and made sure my mum stuck to it to the letter. So far it's worked like a charm.

Maybe if your mum lays down with him and bub plays with her hair, he might just nod off. Sometimes our bubs surprise us and we wonder why we worried so much. Hopefully this might work for you. There's nothing worse than taking time away from bub only to worry if they're surviving without us!

Good luck
