[quote=Anonymous]As much as you may think your questions are innocuous re: baby, she may not feel comfortable discussing for some reason.  Maybe it's the long struggle with infertility; maybe she's just a super private person.  My MIL keeps asking me (and I've overheard her asking DH separately) about my breastfeeding plans... I'm sure she doesn't think it's a big deal but it feels highly intrusive to me and I really don't want to discuss it with her (my general rule is that any body part normally covered with clothing should be off limits for discussion, unless you're my BFF, DH or doc).  I'm not suggesting that you're asking her anything inappropriate, but different people respond to personal questions in different ways, and she may just not want to engage on the topic.

Agree with other posters who say to let it go, wait for the baby, and then follow her lead.  Sounds like you've been in the family much longer than her, so she may still be trying to figure out where she fits.[/quote]
