Mother breastfed my baby

My mother was taking care of my 3 months old who was very fussy. I went to make formula milk meanwhile she said to my baby are you hungry and put her breast in her mouth and joked baby you won't get milk her. I definitely didnt like it and took her breast out and shouted please don't do this. Am I overreacting? When I again told her not to do this again ever she said you dont understand the joke. I dont like someone kiss my baby lips or do something like this be it my own mother. How do I draw that line? Its my baby and she loves her grand daughter but these kind of stuff make me angry. Am I wrong?

No wth, I would flare up. I feel latching is something very personal unless I personally allowed you to do so. Mother or not, I don’t care if you still have milk after 20 years but basic respect is common sense. Be stern to her that this should be the only and last time and you’re offended and unhappy as you feel it’s not something that should be taken as a joke.
