My MIL has been in town since Monday visiting and holding the baby. The first time she held him he was not happy. I told her he probably doesn't like her perfume and that I've read that babies don't like perfume because it's too strong. She was like, "I'm not wearing perfume". Oops! Well, whatever she's using in her hair or whatever smells pretty strong, but she can't smell it because her sense of smell is just about gone. Plus, I'm so not into smelly things, I usually buy everything unscented or make my own. But after that first time he has been fine with her holding him, which helps me to get things done. But she's still driving me a little crazy, so I can't wait for her to go home tomorrow. I hate to say that, but I need my alone time back.
And it hurts my heart a little bit every time someone else is holding him, too. Like, doesn't seem to matter to him who it is, any warm body is fine.
