How to handle my Mil

Set out boundaries and plan schedule for the baby and ur mil to follow. babies love routines. Set feeding time of every 2 hours and a 30mins to an hour playtime if the baby is still below 6 mths. Tell ur mil, babies need to sleep more as they are growing. When babies are hungry, please don't delay as babies tend to get cholic and gastrics. their tummies are small ,thats why its fast full and fast empty. babies will grow up and they will know whose the mother or the grandmother. don't stress over her attitude , set ur own.

If she is so sensitive she will cry or feel upset no matter what you say. That is her own internal problem to solve. you’re not responsible for “babying” your MIL. do what is only right for your baby and you - which is to give her feedback and communicate with her to your best know how. Tell her you appreciate her help (give compliment when it’s due) but also point out there r areas you wish to iron out with her.

Just tell her off before it’s too late. Where’s your hubby when all these happened? Did you speak to him about it? Put yourself & the baby first. If she wants a baby so much, ask her to make one herself.. I find such boomers annoying. So what if she’s sensitive . YOUR mental health is important.

Talk to ur hubby and get him to talk to his mum. Don’t make it sounds like a complain session but more of a facts . If he refuse to say his mum / brush it off, I will talk to mil myself. I will tell her the expectations and the facts , time table and boundaries. Stand up for urself and ur baby.

Your mil's attachment to your baby seems to be getting in the way to tend to your baby's need of be fed. Maybe let your mil know that it'll tire her if she sleep with baby. Have your baby with you during night feed. Say that this us doctor's advise
