I was working one day a week from when Han was about 11 months and she went to my mums for the day. They had a blast and my mum really misses it now. Hannah is really great with my mum and after a few initial probs with going to sleep there, she was fine.

I've been back at work part time since Brenna was 3 months and we use both nana's (they take the weeks in turns)

I'd say that go for it only if you have a good relationship with the grandparent(s). It will be good for Elle to spend time with them and you'll enjoy the break from 'mum' stuff

I work 4 days a week, 2 of those being nights and Piper goes to the inlaws for about 4 hours a night as DH is busy on those nights as well and she loves going there as she gets to spend quality time with them without us being there and they get disapointed if we dont take her.

Lucy's grandparents (DH"S Parents) live over the back fence, different street though, so she spends a bit of time over there, if they are busy they will say no to looking after them. With them living over the fence is a god-send really, if I have to pop out they are always there.

My parents live 1 hour away and my mum comes into town alot if I have to go for scans etc, so she can look after Lucy. Lucy loves her grandparents to pieces

I agree, if you have a good relationship with the grandparents and they are willing go for it.

I have qualms about leaving baby with my MIL (my parents live out of town), although she is keen as. The reason being I don't completely trust her to follow our rules to do with raising our child.
