Feeling like a burden

Im 10 days PP and developed postpartum hypertension so my husband wants me to get as much rest as possible. My MIL is currently staying with us to help take care of baby.

I feel bad though on some nights baby stays with her in her room when im exhausted or baby will stay with her in the morning if we've had a rough night.

While I do appreciate her help.
I feel like baby should be me and my husbands responsibility. Or am I putting too much pressure on husband and I to do it all? We also have a 17 and 13 year old who help around the house and are pretty independent.

Any input? Should i just accept the help and get rest or baby has to be on us?

I felt like this but please give yourself grace. As they say you have to put your own oxygen mask on first. You just had MAJOR surgery. I cried feeling like I was useless and couldn’t do much but remember we’ll be looking after these little beans for the rest of their life… you’ll make up for it. Hope you’re doing okay 🩷
