No ulterior motives here: Lynne Spears to raise Jamie Lynn's baby so she can get right back to work

Jamie Lynn Spears will give her baby to her mother in order to concentrate on her career, according to reports.



The 16-year-old stunned the world last month when she revealed she was pregnant with her first child, and now the "Zoey 101" star has allegedly agreed to let her mother Lynne bring up the child in a bid to retain her career and grow up like a normal teenager.

A source tells Star magazine, "After several weeks of personal soul searching and talks and discussions with her mom Jamie Lynn reluctantly agreed that giving up the baby is the right thing to do. Lynne says Jamie doesn't understand the life-long consequences of having a baby.

"She still wants her daughter to be able to be a teenager, go to parties, hang out with friends and have a career. So she'll take the front seat of caring for the baby and take the pressure off her daughter.

"Lynne is convinced that having a baby on her hip will not help Jamie Lynn's future in the business and she's expecting her daughter to pick up where she left off as soon as the baby is born."
