Let the helper has reasonable rest time is not spoiling her. Don't always listen to relatives' or friends' opion, sometimes it makes the case worse.
I was a working mom before. My elder daughter shared the bedroom with the helper until 3 yrs old and the younger one was borned. I took care the younger one for the first 3 months then the helper slept with him and the daughter slept alone. Whenever my daughter cried or woke up in the midnight, I was the one to check and comfort her. Also if my son kept crying in the midnight even the helper was carrying him, I would let him to sleep with me.
I think you observe the helper first and then make your decision. If she is patient enough and likes your baby, you can try to let her sleep with the baby but better not for the first few months.
Always bear in mind that we are the mom. No matter how naughty or trouble is the baby, we still love him/her. But never expect the same from the helper.
Absolutely. You are the mom and it should be your top priority to look after your baby.
My son is 7 months old and he always sleep with me. Not 1 day with the maid. I prefer the maid sleep well at night and have the energy to look after my son during the day. Plus she deserves decent sleep. Bear in mind she is only helping you she cannot replace your role as the mother.
My maid offered to help me at night as she sometimes see me v. tired and I said to her maybe one day if I am v. v. tired I will pass the baby to her to look after.

I let my older son sleeps alone, my maid slept alone & my new born slept in my room on the 窗枱 until she can 轉身 & became not safe to sleep there, then she shared she own room with my maid only becos my room cannot fit the bb cot.
