[quote=Anonymous]Yes you're being sensitive, but she's not wrong. I vividly remember my SIL counseling me to just have a tub of formula on hand if it was needed at my baby shower, and my sister (lactivist who, suprise, never had any supply issues) shot her down and said "you won't need that!" Guess who had to make a bleary-eyed emergency CVS run to get baby formula ... ? Your MIL is seeing that you're struggling for very little benefit, and is trying to help. One bottle of formula a day will reduce the stress on you, the baby, and the entire family. She may also perceive that the baby is not gaining enough weight. Yes, this is a fraught area, but some women (raises hand!) get irrational about breastfeeding. It's not healthy to expect everyone else to just indulge that irrationality, frankly. [/quote]
