Am I wrong

Ok so I got a 2 year old an a 1 year old that aren't biologically mine an I just gave birth to our 1 month old an I couldn't decide if I wanted to breast feed or not but in the end I did decide I wanted to breast feed an my MIL keeps making comments like " I don't know how you can have your kid up on you like that every 3 hours I wouldn't be able to" or "mommy is just hoggin all the feed time" an that was said to my 1 month old but she also keeps saying "She might be allergic to breast milk " because she spits up an I don't know what to do as I want to continue with breastfeeding but I keep getting remarks like that??

Ignore her I know it’s hard but breastfeeding is difficult enough without outsiders opinions. You’re doing an amazing job mama!

Don’t let someone else pressure you into stopping breastfeeding It’s your baby and your decision and her wanting to feed your child is a selfish reason for her to do that My in laws tried the same but I ignored them and did it for 9 months until it was right for us to stop

You breastfeed mumma. If you can do it and you want to do it that is great. There are so many benefits to breastfeeding. For example when you kiss your baby your body picks up pathogens on your baby and your milk makes exactly what your baby needs to fight illness. If your MIL has a problem with it she can build a bridge and get over it. You’re the mother. What you say goes. I honestly don’t get the shit people cop for breastfeeding. It’s ridiculous.

She’s just trying to make herself feel better about not breastfeeding her own kid(s)

IGNORE HER!!!! You are doing what’s best for you and your baby. Stand your ground and don’t give into her. Breastfeeding for the first 6-8 weeks are brutal but after that it is pure bliss. I know teething and sickness periods are hard but they aren’t like the newborn phase… you certainly don’t need someone in your ear. P.s all babies need burped and vomit doesn’t matter if they’re formula or breastfed. You have got this! ❤️

She might be allergic to breast milk after spit ups is the dumbest thing I’ve heard. Definitely ignore her. I would use feeds as an excuse to leave whatever room she’s in. 😝

It’s literally YOUR baby, you can hog all the time you want.

If you're a confrontational type tell her she can keep her comments to herself and that you're the mom so you get to choose what is best for your baby. If you're the passive aggressive type tell her that the baby has a pediatrician for a reason. Or to keep the peace maybe take the baby to another room to breastfeed, it's bonding time for you and your babe. Doing it in peace is helpful.

Ohh she sounds like someone who woulld receive pa shut up call from me. Allergic to breapst milk becapuspe spittingl? My answer: oh it's been a century psinpce u had a nepwborn so u don't remember what's what. Alslo on al separate note: i will appreciate if you stop commenting on my choice to breastfeeding. I like halving you around alnd would hate lto have to cut you off for my sanity.

Also please don't stop BF because of her comments. BF is so good for you ( if there is no latch problem etc). Once established, I have always felt that at many times this alone pulled me away from falling into depression. Initial 2 months are tough when there is no routine and baby is feeding all the time but it gets better.

Ignore her and if you can't and she goes too pushy, distance yourself. You need people to help you because bf isn't an easy journey.

Ignore her it’s up to you how you feed baby. Baby cant be allergic to breast milk lol they may be allergic to dairy for example but not breast milk itself . So Stupid !!!🥱
