Being told what to do by other family members!

[Georgie6687]

Hey all,
Just wanted some advice really and see what you all think.
I am a new mummy to my beautiful Bella born 20.02.2017 and I am loving every minute!
The only thing I'm struggling with is other members of my family and my OH Kyle's family ...it drives me crazy!
I am learning every day as a mum especially as she's starting teething lol I'm just finding other people especially those with more than one child can be really rude and condescending when it comes to telling me what I should be doing...I openly accept advice but hate being 'told' what I need to do with my baby.

Am I just being paranoid or do others feel the same?!?

Smile and nod.

It happens. A lot.

It's worth listening as occasionally there's a gem. But really, just letting it wash over you is best all round.

Smile. Ignore. Then ignore some more. You are the mum and you're damn good at it. You alone should decide what's best for your baby. This is an amazing journey for you to discover what is best for your child. You will make mistakes because that's just part of the deal so don't worry about it. Trust yourself, be confident, and ignore, ignore, ignore.
