This is how one mom felt when she rebuffed the request of her mother-in-law to take her 5-week-old on an entire day out without her. The in-laws were visiting, and the mom did not want her baby separated from her, as he was exclusively breastfed and she didn't think that he could spend a long time away from her at this stage.
Both her mother-in-law and husband protested her stance, claiming that she was trying to keep a grandma from seeing her grandchild. Confused and overwhelmed, she wanted to understand if she had done anything wrong.
