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

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.
