Hello. Firstly i think u should calm down. I can understand that it is really irritating especially when we have tried for a very long time to put babas to sleep or tried very hard to coax baby to drink milk and they have to come to sabotage the whole thing. Some times u just need to repeat yourself. Sometimes its just becaus ur mil doesn't have enough chance to play/carry baby that's why she is being like that - bluff u not in, want to offer to carry when its not the right time.
My kid also needs quite quiet environment to sleep and drink but actually i think it is not a good thing and i hope to train him to be more flexible and able to drink and sleep in a more distractful environment - which u may want to consider too. Otherwise, forever very hard to go out or sleep outside when we go out. So its actually good to intro some noise to the environment.
I am guessing that your child is less than 6 months? When their eyesight becomes better and can see further and Colours, they will soon be extremely easy to distract - by then what are u going to do? Always face the corner of the room to feed? Not practical. So its good to have a bit of training, no need to be so uptight about it. Otherwise, u have to pay back in the future when the child cant sleep because of a younger sibling being noisy or simply crying.
Btw, I don't think ur sil really means what she say yar. It is meant as a joke or harmless remark. Not to instigate or suggest anything mean yar
