[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've come to realize that my MIL, for some reason, hates that I'm breastfeeding my 3 month old DS. When she visits she fixates on it and asks dozens of detailed and leading questions that make it clear that she thinks it's not a good idea without coming out and directly saying so. From her questions and comments, it's clear that she thinks breastfed babies don't sleep as well as FF babies, has repeatedly asked if DS's reflux would be fixed by giving him formula or at least a bottle of pumped milk, and once made a comment to the baby as she was giving a bottle to him while I was in the next room, that "[b]mommy is starving you, isn't she?[/b]" To be clear, I don't care what she thinks and I'm happy to ignore the passive aggressive comments and leading questions. I've given both this DS and my older DS formula, fwiw, and I don't care about the FF vs. BF debate, it just happened that BF worked out really easily this time around. I don't recall her doing this as much when my older child was an infant, but she wasn't around as much when older DS was a baby and I EP'd with him so maybe that made a difference in her eyes? Curious to know if anyone else has experienced this? Is this perhaps a generational thing? [/quote]

Haven't read the rest of the posts.  Haven't even finished reading yours, but OMG I would want to slap her silly if I heard that.  I wouldn't, but my husband would get an earful after she left.[/quote]
