@charity78777 This is literally my MIL. “All my babies were doing Xyz by this age” “well this is how I used to do it for my babies” “I never felt like I needed a break” “I could always tell when babies were formula fed vs breast fed bc of their behavior”
@charity78777 I am experiencing this right now. My husbands cousin had a baby who is 8 months older than our 2 monther and we always hear about what she’s done and that we should do the same. I mentioned recently to my MIL that I want to do BLW and she said “oh no. X does baby purée pouches and you should too.”
@charity78777 I’m also riding the frustration train. My sister had a baby a month before me, so there is never short supply of comparison between my style of parenting (apparently overly anxious and helicopter-y) and my sister’s (so easy, going out every night, passing baby around).
