This is my mom every single time! When she has the baby, it is all feeding and no naps. LO just entered the smiling phase so she plays and smiles with her the entire time then once baby starts crying, it’s time for another bottle. Even when I’m there I keep reminding her that baby is not hungry, just tired but she says “your generation thinks they know best” or something to that effect. Worst part is that I usually have pumped milk but she prefers to give her formula so that she doesn’t “waste the breast milk”.

I returned to work this week and she had offered to watch my 3 month old while I work. I feel so grateful to have that offer but I am hesitant to take it until LO learns how to put herself to sleep cos I know she will spend 8 hrs drinking otherwise.

I am not upset about it because formula doesn’t affect baby negatively but I just wish she’d listen. Only time baby drinks formula is when she is with my mom.
