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. :/

Why cannot? People even breastfeed up to 3-4year old. I’ll just ignore her comments. Try to give her more examples of the goodness of Breastmilk. My MIL also not supportive of BF initially until some relative of hers also doing so and for 2 years already.
