[quote=Anonymous]Some things are purely a generational thing which you can take with a grain of salt (just like when know-it-all friends offer advice!) Try not to let it get to you and just remind yourself that they are simply trying to look out for her the best way they know too. Safety things (like the pillow) can get a gentle "I'm not comfortable with the safety issue involved there. Maybe I'm being overprotective but that's how we first timers are." Sometimes for the sake of relationships it's better to take the high road and pull it back on yourself rather than making an accusation to them. Just keep replying "We all have our own ways of caring for her - even Bill and I have different styles - but rest assure we always have her best interests in mind." I used to tell my mom how lucky she was not to have to worry about the parenting details anymore and she could just relax and love and spoil the baby like a good grandma. She knew that meant to zip her trap! ;)[/quote]
