My MIL & I fell out a few months ago about my still bfing my DS- who is still now only 8.5 months old. Since then I have tried on numerous occasions to build the bridges.
This sat ew went over & my DS got very upset fairly quickly, my PIL get very close to his face & nake noises at him which just make hime cry. There was then a whole fuss because I didnt want him to have a farleys rusk so when I went to the loo they gave him a spoon of jam instead
Anyhow, this is just really painting the picture & maybe people will think I am a fussy mum but thats my choice. The long & short of it is that my DS wanted a bfeed & I was too scared to as I know she hates it, lots of mutterings disproving grunts etc. It took me an hour or so to get up the nerve to leave the room & go & feed himI will feed anywhere in public & have never had an issue with it but just know she disapproves so much I was too much of a coward to stand up to her.
My DH was with me & was wondering what was going on but didnt say anything as he thought DS wanted a bfeed but then thought maybe he had it wrong.( he was unloading car at time of rusk/jam thing)
Its really knocked me as I really feel I let my DS down- he wanted something & I could supply it but held out for fear of MIL. Its had me crying lots of the weekend- could also be hormones as pregnant- & I dont know what to do. PIl are away now for 2 weeks & DH has gone away with work till end of July. Not really sure what I am after with this post but maybe just wanted to sound off.- THANKS
