Stressed with MIL

I am a first time mother who just gave birth few days ago… I feel so stressed up with my MIL who would force me to breastfeed my baby and she would literally comment on everything i do. I have a hard time latching and i could only pump milk which is so tiring mentally and physically and the comments from my MIL stress me up even more. Is it so wrong to give baby formula milk? What should i do :( #advicepls

it’s not wrong at all. fed is best, no matter FM or BM. i totally feel you, when monster-in-law (MIL) gives unnecessary and stupid comments when YOU are the mother. my mil also told me not to pump because not fresh. feel like telling her to f off and shut up, never even ask for her opinion. i hope your husband can talk to her. or the best advice is you have to internally just learn to ignore her.. but i know it’s a very difficult solution, i’m also learning to do the same and struggling. heck care what she says and do what’s best for you! sending lots of love and support to you!
