Another story of inlaws I'm afraid. My lb is nearly 4 months old and my family lives in another country so the only family I have is husbands. His parents are really lovely and have been so generous and kind. His mum has even been a second mum with mine so far away until our son was born and now I feel invisible so much so that at the last family gathering I was ignored even when I asked for my son back to feed him when he was crying.
My MIL especially advises on everything on how best to take care of our son. Since lb was a few weeks old she has been hinting about introducing formula as I "won't be able to keep up with his demand soon". She hints at this to my husband every time she sees him (always within earshot of me) and asks about his weight. I have been ignoring it up until now except yesterday she mentioned it again directly to me. I said that he was fine and that I had read up on it and I shouldn't need to even tried to talk about a study where ebf mothers don't necessarily produce more milk and their los still gain weight healthily. She said something along the lines of 'did I want him to stop gaining weight'. I just stopped the conversation and mentioned it to my husband who said that she just wants to babysit to give us a break.
How do I deal with over ruling their advice especially when they are doctors?
