[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She's not being supportive. Op has stated that she wants to breastfeed and mil is disparaging her and bringing unasked for formula into OP" s house.

There are some future nightmare MILs in this thread![/quote]

I think the nightmare ones are going to be the rigid ones screeching about how the MIL here is horrible and wrong. A little mental flexibility is a good thing.[/quote]

The nightmare MIL should have been flexible enough to be supportive of OP's choice to breastfeed her OWN child, but instead-was disparaging and brought in unasked for formula. Guess what? MIL was horrible and wrong, and OP is right to feel as she does![/quote]

You say the MIL was "disparaging."  This is from OP: "she’s been pretty vocal about how she feels BFing isn’t necessary, baby will be fine if I choose to switch to formula, etc"

That is not "disparaging."  That is fact.  Breastfeeding isn't necessary.  The baby will be fine if she switches to formula.

It is actually, disparaging. The OP made clear that she wants to breastfeed her baby, and that is her decision. MIL is chirping away and bringing in unasked for formula, as the OP is breastfeeding her child. [/quote]
