I’m so exhausted from my baby’s sleep that I feel like running away. Is it okay to leave the baby with family or a nanny for a break?

Many moms feel overwhelmed and benefit from taking short breaks while trusted caregivers watch the baby. Rest is important for mental health, even if mom guilt shows up.

One pediatrician advised a mom to feed the baby, hand over to nanny or grandparents, and leave the house for some time to reset, reminding her it’s not only the mother’s job to raise the child.

Moms also talk about feeling guilty or judged by family, but emphasize that getting help and rest can prevent burnout and anxiety.
