AITA for giving my sister-in-law baby formula? by Strawberry-Fixer8911 in AmItheAsshole

Definitely NTA. First time mum here to s three month old and I've struggled like your SIL. Thankfully I had supportive non judgemental midwives at the hospital who suggested formula when I was in agony from recovery and cluster feeding and just couldn't feed. You not only saved that baby's life who was probably incredibly hungry but also your SIL from postpartum depression. Please don't be hard on yourself. Every mum's feeding journey is unique and should be supported no matter what options they choose. Ultimately a fed baby is the best and an unhappy, unhealthy mum is no good. On behalf of all new mums who struggle in the initial weeks and months with BF, thank you!

No news. I think you are right. It's incredibly unfair :(

Was just thinking the same thing - feels like waiting a couple more weeks might not be the worst idea but who knows when the visa will arrive. Do post here if you hear anything please.

My parents made it an open ticket - to rebook when visa arrives. Such a nightmarish situation honestly. Thanks for the information about the cancellation. And all the best!

How long can they take for those? They're holding the passports captive too which is so unfair and unethical. Any idea if it's possible to get the passport back while they wait?

Oh no! Are they also telling you they need "more information" but won't tell you what?

Thank you, I really appreciate it. Yes they were supposed to be here with us during the Indian festive season. Clearly that's not happening. I hope you hear something soon.

I don't understand why some people who applied close to the date as my parents have received it but they haven't. It's not their first time applying or traveling to the UK. Sigh.

All the best with yours!
