Please be gentle...
DS2 is 2.5 weeks old. ILs are staying for five weeks (another thread altogether).
I am not able to breastfeed due to a medical condition. Therefore I am formula feeding DS2, like I did DS1. Even though I knew I wouldn't be able to feed the baby myself, I am still pretty upset that I can't. I know it's not completely rational but there you go.
MIL is constantly trying to feed the baby. It makes me upset every time I see her. I almost feel a physical ache. I feel like we're playing a game trying to get to the baby first when he's hungry. She says I'm being precious and it's a way of showing her love. I say that she can show her love other ways and even though I can't breastfeed, feeding my baby is still important to me.
Am I being precious/unreasonable? I feel so unhappy about this and I have taken to hiding in my room with the baby like a sulky teenager.
