[quote=Anonymous]I would talk to MB and ask whether she would be confortable with you leaving the house while grandma has playtime with Larla. If grandma is a competent caregiver then giving her 45 minutes alone with a (freshly changed, recently fed, well-rested) grandchild every week will gradually build their relationship. If that is not an option, I would look for ways to make grandma’s visits a special treat. Either by watching a movie together or playing with special toys you reserve only for her visits. Another solution might be to meet on more neutral turf—a restaurant or indoor play space or paint-your-own pottery place, or museum, etc. so that there is less focus on grandma as the new element. At home everything is familiar but grandma. Go somewhere that grandma is only one of many new and interesting things for Larla to inteact with.[/quote]
