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

Feeding formula doesn’t means you’re a bad mother and wrong. Be it FM or BM, a well fed baby is a happy baby, which is the utmost important to me. I know it’s hard but try to ignore her, and bring your baby to the room. When my baby being cranky and cry, my mil even told me that i don’t know how to carry my baby comfortably that’s why she keep crying. Such an insult to a mother. All these mil should know their place and stop giving additional stress to a new mother.
