Obsessive MIL or sensitive me?

Currently I am having my confinement. Started to get annoyed by my mil who tried to interfere me on how to handle my infant. 1) Finally managed to get my bb fall aslp, 2 hrs later she went to wake her up to bath. 2) Trying to stop Infant to sleep with us in same room. Keep giving excuses say I need to rest and sleep throughout the night. (In fact I need to breastfeed her) 3) Not giving me much chance to hold and cuddle my bb and take away my job to feed unless my hubby told her firmly i need to breastfeed her. Heard from my hubby she claiming just wanted me to rest more... Can anyone advise if I am sensitive or facing an obsessive mil over my bb?

I will be glad if my MIL helped me the way she did for you but of course will tell her that I still need to bond with my baby and that I need to breastfeed so do give some privacy for that. I think as 1st time grandmother (is she?) normally they will be very excited and wants you to rest as much as you can. Same goes for my own mum. She took care of my son 90% and slept with him. I got all the rest I needed and maybe that's why I recovered fast. My mum will only pass him to me to feed and till today my son is very close to her which I understand and actually don't mind cos both my parents plays a very huge part in my son's life which I am forever thankful for. Whereas my ex MIL does not even care. Probably because she was not a 1st time grandmother.
