Am I doing this all wrong?

[Bails123]

My baby is 4 months old now and is exclusively breastfed. He will only settle on the breast and breastfeeds to sleep for naps and bedtime. Is it quite a demand on me but I don't mind as I just want a happy and comforted baby... However... my family have been making comments such as
● your over feeding him by putting him on the breast all the time
●your giving him wind and uncomfortable tummy by nursing him like that.
●He's crying when he's held by others because he only likes to be with you due to how I comfort him with the breast
●"My baby just went to sleep without any of this fuss"
●just give him a pacifier (however my baby doesn't like a pacifier)
●you've got a very demanding baby, it's fine to just let him cry

I keep going over these comments in my head and feeling upset by them, am I doing this all wrong?? It feels natural to have my baby close and breastfeed him to sleep and for comfort but is it the right thing to do?

You’re family are giving out dated advice. You need to tell them to stop undermining you as it’s not helpful.

You cannot overfeed a breastfed baby! Every one of your bullet points is nonsense. My son was pretty much attached to me until he was 1. Then he went to a childminder and his independence flourished. He's 6 now, has his own share of problems because he's ND but I can safely say none of them are related to breastfeeding. You're doing an amazing job OP.

You’re doing a fab job. It absolutely is the natural thing to do.

What they are saying is inaccurate, outdated, and the attitude is much of the reason behind low breastfeeding rates. Ignore them, and if you can, tell them to be quiet.

You are doing wonderfully well. Ignore the comments as you are feeding him wonderfully well x

Na, sounds like you are doing a great job. People just like to complain and criticise. Babies are supposed to be attached to you! I'd just keep on doing what you are doing knowing that you have a healthy, happy baby.

Ignore the lot of them! You’re doing great, keep going. 🙌

Thanks for your comments everyone! 🥰

Everyone's already said it. Just one thing to add is that my stock response was "it works for us" with a polite smile and no further engagement on the topic.
You're doing a fab job, keep it up

Ignore ignore ignore!

This is just the beginning I'm afraid. People are very opinionated and often quite vocal about most aspects of parenting. You'll get it about the use of car seats, potty training, whether you've dressed them warmly enough, sleep patterns, food and the list goes on and on.
