Dealing with difficult MIL

[newdad1989]

Expectant father here (First baby due January)

Wife's mum has been fairly vocal about not wanting to be involved in our baby's life. She's come out saying "don't call me grandma", "don't expect me to look after the baby", jokes about feeding the baby meat/dairy (we are raising the baby vegan) - and it's all getting a bit much for me.
My wife brushes it off and says that's just how it is with her mum, but it makes me feel sad that potentially this baby won't be able to build a relationship with the grandmother.

Any advice here?

Unless your DD had an underlying health problem the issue was a poor diet with inadequate nutrients, not a vegan diet.

Entire populations raise healthy children on healthy vegan/vegetarian diets, however meat eaters making a conversion need to learn how to cater without meat.

Too many fashion vegan/vegetarians don't bother to learn about nutrition and balanced diets which don't include meat, then they blame the concept rather than their own failure to learn.

I am also triggered by you stating you want to raise a vegan child. Pretty shitty of you to so severely restrict a child from what they need to grow.
