My DH & I are away overnight in 3 weeks time, and so my MIL will basically be babysitting for a day & a half.
This was agreed when DS was about 4m, but now DS is almost 8m and we're well into BLW. However my MIL has made it clear from her comments (and one instance of giving me the 3rd degree) that she pretty much thinks BLW is a ridiculous way to wean, and that DS will choke with every mouthful. She's very much in the 'spoon-feeding, and get food into them' camp & is SUCH a fusspot/worrier about things. We gave DS spaghetti for the first time the other night & MIL made a comment about how SIL didn't give spaghetti to her boys until they were about 5(!). I think a lot of her reticence on the matter is borne from ignorance, fear & also the fact that it's so different from the way she did it & my SIL did it so therefore our way must be wrong.
How is DS going to be fed whilst we're away if MIL is anti-BLW???
