My parents seem not supportive of me giving bm to lo. Does any of you having the same issue as me? How do I encourage them or tell them so as to change their mindset.

Actually why do you want to change their mindset? You are the Mother and you make the final decision for your child, whether your parents like it or not. Older generation were "educated" that formula is the best. So no matter how much you want them to change, most of the time, they won't..

For me is not my parents but my In laws. Said that my bm is not good coz I'm not eating confinement food. Keep asking me to feed formula, etc etc.. even blame my bm when baby didn't poo for close to 10 days. even when hubby has already tell them that we are feeding my lo bm and explain to them the benefits, they still don't believe.. my hubby was also fed up. But we learned to ignore after that, coz we made the decision already.. my mil is the caregiver for my lo. what is more jmpt is your hubby's support.
