What time does your mil put her to sleep during the day?

My experience is that when you have someone else looking after your child even if it is family, they tend to put baby to sleep as much as possible so that they get breaks. My feeling is that your child realises that when she wakes up you are not going to be around and therefore she is waking herself up early to make sure you are there. She is able to do this, cause she' s getting enough rest during the day. Breast milk decreasing can also be the problem under which case you should switch to bottle milk. See, we should realise that we cannot have everything in life, being a mom is a full time job until your baby gets her own routine. Since you feel that your job is important, start giving her bottle milk, she' s crossed 6 mths. It will reduce your stress. And now that you started work, you will face stress from your job as well as being a mom.

Try diff options, first check if she' s getting too much sleep during the day .. do this politely as mother in laws dont like being questioned.
Secondly, try not to leave before your baby wakes up, let her wake up .. see you next to her .. give her breakfast and then when she is playing with your mil .. then leave the house. She see' s you when she goes to sleep, she wants to see you when she wakes up.
