What do you do or say? When your MIL felt that you shouldn't breastfeed/latch baby for long as she felt that its not good for her(She felt its not okay for your child to latch on your breast when she is older, will make her mental growth a problem)? I planned to breastfeed my baby for 12 months, after knowing what her view on it i feel really upset. My hubby is half supportive and half not supportive. :/

Tell ur wishes and get ur husband to support u. I think the marketing of fm with dha and stuff about being smart kids next time work on ur mil. U can educate ur mil if possible and definitely ur husband abt the benefits of bm which is immensely more than fm as it is more dynamic and more personalized to baby needs. U can find a lot of such info online. Frankly, after 6 months when u start baby on solids, by then u can pacify ur mil by buying interesting or "branded" cereal or biscuits or whatever. Mental problem is nonsense la. Fm is a recent invention. Many pple all over the world, throughout man's history, babies heavily relied on bm and we are all still here and good right now w many past inventors and so many arts and science revolutions and golden eras
