Ok firstly when someone says something about parenting styles etc i know mostly they mean well etc and ultimately it comes down to me and dh as parents to do as we believe to be right, but...
Aibu to be annoyed at the constant comments, from mainly family, in regards to parenting, especially some very outdated oppinions.
I.e: about weaning and introducing solids at 6month "oh thats rubbish you should give him solids from 3months...ds is a hungry baby he will be looking for it"
About how my 5week old ds is 'spoiled' and 'taking the piss' (i quote from mil!) As i pick him up when hes crying. Fil even said hes attention seeking! I said you cant spoil a 5week old as they cry for a reason and mil just laughs and says oh no ds is too spoilt. ( but then if shes with him he doesnt get put down even if its obvious shes annoying him!)
Also just uneducated comments towards breastfeeding. I had a couple of long cluster feeding days and i was told that ds was 'taking the piss' out of me and just wanted to be on me and probably wasnt feeding and i should give him a bottle as he was obviously too hungry and my milk wasnt enough. Which as most breastfeeding mums know is bollocks.
Im not a doormat and bring them up on everything and say "well health visitor said this or breastfeeding support worker said this" and i just get scoffed at!
