What I’ll do when people interfere with my mummy business.. I’ll just say, “It’s okay lah, every babies are different with different needs. Same goes for every mothers, they also have different capabilities.” Then just go in one ear and out the other, totally shut off and pretend like it’s a spoilt and annoying radio/TV.
If you’re brazen enough, just tell your MIL upfront that your milk haven’t come in yet and that you’re trying your best. At least you don’t starve your baby. Everytime she comments on something, just either keep quiet or just said ok. Then shut off. Pretend to be dumb. If all else fails, tell your husband she’s the contributor of your post-natal depression and get the hell out of there or just stay in the room and stop talking to her. If she’s handling your confinement whatnots, tell her don’t need. You’ll do it yourself, or ask help from your husband or whoever available. People like this need to be more stern and stand your ground. They think they’re old, they eat salt earlier than us means they know everything, please lah. This is 2022, not 1922.
