This is my first time starting a thread, please be gentle!
I'm due to have my first baby in a few weeks, feels like a miracle baby after traumatic losses and a very complex pregnancy. Baby is PFB grandchild on both sides so I understand grandparents want to be involved but I'm really worried that my wishes won't be respected by my mum or MIL. Every time I say what I'd like/plan to do I get told "oh it's your first, your ideas will soon change" - this about everything from breastfeeding to wanting to use natural fabrics and trying to establish a routine. I have been in tears tonight after a conversation with MIL about breastfeeding, she's not keen and I'm genuinely scared she is planning to sneak baby formula. How did you cope with granny knows best?
