Annoying mother in law

Honestly moms in that generation literally all do that. They believe it’s heavier and would help baby sleep longer during the night . I feel their generation don’t support exclusive BF, they mostly combo fed in their time. 🤷‍♀️

If you don’t want to give formula then don’t… it will likely have an impact on your supply… I’ve EBF my first 2 they’ve never had formula and doing completely fine… due my 3rd in May will also be EBF… as long as baby is putting on weight and following centile there is no need unless you want to do it… tell her to butt out

My MIL also gives bad advice! I think older generations are not very understanding of the baby’s needs, they raised their kids without the knowledge we have available for us now. Do what’s beat for you and the baby! Ask your partner to deal with his mother

No need! Baby will continue to wake during the night until you stop breastfeeding and even then there’s other factors that will wake them up like our ultimate fave… teething.

Depending on how old little one is… you can drop some night feeds and try settling without the breast as it starts to become comfort rather than hunger. It’s definitely hard but should get into a better routine within a week or 2 ❤️

If your choice is to breastfeed then don’t worry about any other opinions. There’s so many health benefits and you don’t need to over feed LO.

No need, you’re doing wonderfully.
Her head would absolutely spin if she knew about my 26 month old, who was still breastfed until recently, and he only started consistently sleeping through when he turned 2!

Or my friend’s 2 year old that was formula fed, but still doesn’t consistently sleep through, ever!

You do what is best for you and your family and shut out the noise x

My MIL once suggested to give baby formula so she could have her for the weekend 🙄🙄 like what?! 🤣 it’s a baby, not a doll haha that generation is something else entirely

~ it must be their generation for sure! my MIL was same, saying I only have enough milk for 1 baby … as i have twins… totally not how it works lol

Tell her to butt out, it’s your decision. I had to hide the formula my mom bought for my daughter since I’ve had her exclusively on breast milk since my milk came in. I have a great supply and have a huge stash in two separate freezers. I thaw it out constantly for when she feeds her. She just decides to use the formula from a brand that I don’t even like.
