[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have your MIL come with you to the pediatrician a appointment and have yor pedi tell her what she needs to do to keep your preemie baby healthy. She may not be upset if the news is coming from a professional.[/quote] OP here. I love this idea, but I can't see it ever happening. MIL "doesn't believe in doctors" and I can't fathom how I would spin accompanying us to an appointment. In the NICU, the March of Dimes social worker and the neonatologist were both clear that the baby should not be in a smiker's house or held by a smoker. My SIL smokes and never had an objection to MIL visiting or holding her baby boy, so of course I look like I'm overreacting in contrast. But our baby is a preemie. The stakes are much different. (I'd definitely object to spending time at her house with a full term infant, but I don't think I'd be as concerned as I am about her holding the baby in clean clothes at our house.)[/quote]
