I just started to work after my maternity leave. My MIL takes care of my 4 month old while I work. I wanted to come home after work to let my baby latch but my MIL always insist on bottle feeding her just when I reach home, claiming that my baby is hungry already because she didn't sleep much in the day. But I see my baby happily playing, no signs of hunger. Any mommies encounter the same? How do you deal with MIL? By the way, my in laws are staying with me.

For me, whenever the MIL is involved, I tend to get my partner to deal with her. I just don't have the energy to argue with her because she's the sort that is opinionated and always wanna have the last word in. Annoying and I can never win so I let her son talk some sense into her. At the end of the day, it is your child and it is up to you how you raise your child and I agree with one of the mommies above - to deny you the right to breastfeed your child is simply mean.
