How to handle my Mil

My mil seems to be jealous baby is close to me and has been trying to distant us. Eg. If baby sees me and cries for me. She carries him away instead and say mei you mei you (don't have in Chinese). Then yesterday she was carrying him, so I went to wash baby clothes etc. She told baby I walked away like i abandon him and add on say i walked away he smiled. It is very hurting. Another time she say baby forget about me. In order to have more time with him, she even asked me to let him very hungry then feed him. Cause I am direct latching him and she feels the feeding too fast. When baby was finally passed to me, his hands were trembling. She even tries to deprive him of sleeping just in to have more time with him. Baby is yawning and she keep say he is opening his mouth. I really feel very miserable... I respect her as my hubby mother but she is getting too much. She is also super sensitive and will probably cries if I say her. Any advice.... #firstbaby #pleasehelp #advicepls

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.

Avoid her as much as possible.
