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

I am so sorry you are going through this. Lots of hugs to you. I gave birth end jan and still having a hard time latching my baby. I bought nipple shield which allows her to suck at least 5 mins each breast. I pump 6x a day and it is tiring. I was very stressed for a month esp with ppl arnd me telling me what to do. Can you jus do one thing mama, just carry on doing what is best for your baby and yourself. If u r stressed, nth will work out well. Shut out ur MIL or tell her, you are figuring out BF-ing and believe time and practice will allow baby to latch on. Actually tbh, just nod nod and let her opinions slide away. Lots of tight hug. BF is stressful, pumping is stressful! You are right on track.
