So take control of your baby’s lifestyle and routine. Don’t let them dictate her life. Only you know what your baby wants. Tell them firmly no, she’s not hungry, she’s probably just tired. Or having gas. Then just heck care and don’t succumb to their nonsense. Don’t need to go and make milk or listen to what they want. Let them make a fool out of themselves by getting unnecessarily angry while you handle your own baby, with your own ways. Get a grip on your life and your baby’s life. Stand your ground. Parents or in-laws are usually full of nonsense especially when it comes to a baby, so make sure you show them who’s the boss of your baby.
I faced the same problem too. They always attribute crying to hunger. There was once I even had to bring them to the doctor n ask the doctor if front of my parents if the crying was due to hunger n the doctor explained to them that it’s not. Then, they were convinced. Cos they felt that the baby must be unwell to keep crying.
your parents or your in-laws? if your parents, you can tell them frankly that your baby is not hungry yet. if your in-laws, maybe your hb can help to talk to them. This is a never ending problem with parents. Try to relax and stay calm. explain that it's not time yet.
Show to them you can appease baby without making milk to show that baby is really not hungry but crying for other reasons..ignore and don't make milk if really not hungry milk powder is expensive 😅
I almost never listen to anyone, if something happens it's on me but then again it's my baby.
Its your life mummy. Dont bother what others have to say. You do you.
