Husband is trying to involve MIL when I want space

So I do not speak to my MIL anymore than necessary, we live together for now but barely speak due to her crossing boundaries with my LO too many times. I’m at the point where I’m done with her because we can never see eye to eye. She still constantly wants to be around us because of my LO but is always saying condescending things to me, I feel like if she can’t respect me than why would I want something that doesn’t respect me around my child that much? I try to ignore her lately and focus on other things as much as I can I even go out of the house way more, but since I started doing my own things now my husband is always trying to involve her even more. He’ll pass the baby to her constantly, he’ll tell her to watch her while he’s in the washroom (even though I’m right there) to spoon feed her right in front of me etc, when I’m the main one doing those things. He does this to try to involve her so she doesn’t feel left out, but he doesn’t understand that I don’t want to be around her because she is always condescending to me. He knows I feel this way, but he does it even more. Also, he’ll get mad if I say no “I’ll do it I’m the mother”, he tells me to stop being mean right in front of her. What do I do when I want to save my mental health but my husband is always wanting her involved. What’s your thoughts?

When do things get easier?

As we entered the 9-12 month stage, my son started crawling and pulling himself up. He also became more clingy and does not play alone, still doesnt sleep through the night, and this week has been sick (so EVERYTHING amplified). I am tired and overwhelmed. Please lie and tell me things get better. 🥺

4 month bed time

What time do you put your babies to bed?
What time do you start your 'routine?'
My LO currently goes to bed around 10.30pm, and I know i need to start bringing it forward. Everytime ive tried, it takes longer for my LO to settle.
We are exclusively breastfeeding. Any advice Mamas?

Colostrum storing?

Has anyone successfully extracted colostrum before the baby’s born? Apparently it gets produced from 16w pregnant and you can start storing it in the freezer but I’m 34w looking at my nipples and the syringes on amazon wondering how it works?? Like what did you use and did it hurt? 🥲

6 month old autistism

My 6 month old makes no eye contact with me and doesn’t respond when I call him. Can this just be a phase or personality trait as apposed to autism

Baby with chronic congestion

Hi everyone! My 1 year has been a congested baby since birth almost. She breathes through her mouth so often that it wakes her up multiple times at night and she cries and screams and then struggles to go back to sleep. She wakes up every 1-3 hours and sometimes can’t go back to sleep for 2-3 hours!!! Piriton is the only thing that seems to help her sleep mostly through the night but I can’t keep giving her that!!
Does anyone have tips as to have I can do or give her? Has anyone experienced? I have no idea when I’ll get an ENT appointment and I have no idea what he can give a 13 mo :( we are desperate for sleep so any tips are welcome!! We have tried steam inhalation, saline drops, vapour rubs and everything off the counter basically!

Combi feeding advice

Has anyone gone from EBF to combi feeding? Currently do one bottle of EBM per night and they one half formula half breast milk mixed in the day. The other times she still feeds on me. Ideally I want to feed all day via bottle and all night with breast. She’s 7 weeks and takes a bottle well, how long should I leave it before adding another bottle to her daily routine?
