Mother wont get off my back !!!!

Question

Breastfeeding vs Bottle feeding, I know its a very touchy subject & everyone has their own opinion I have mine, & im sticking to it My mother on the other hand is relentless about getting me to agree with her & trying to get me to do something that I have already decided im not going to do Im on one end of the topic, shes on the other end How do I get her to lay off & let her know that ive made my choice period, and there is nothing she can do about it but be supportive WITHOUT being rude& yelling @ her???? Shes been going on about this for months & now its starting to p**s me off

Answer 1

How frustrating!

i am 9 weeks pregnant and my mother is interfering already!

Just tell her where to get off, its your little baby, you decide how you bring it up and feed it. Stick to your guns. Just tell her to stay away for a few days to let you get sorted with little one, and she can wind her neck in, then hopefully after a few days away, she will have come to your way of thinking.

Best of luck and stick to your guns hun

Answer 2

Just tell her that it is YOUR baby and you will do things as YOU see fit. It's that simple. She had her chance at raising babies already. She needs to back off. And to put it bluntly, sometimes you just have to be rude, otherwise they will not listen. She'll get over it.

Answer 3

Exactly what ticktock said.Tell her that it is your baby & you will do as you see fit.She needs to back off and butt out,it isn't her business.

Answer 4

EH! I am nine weeks pregnant as well and my mother is interfering already too, saying I should be trying to make more money, etc.. its just horrible, comparing my pregnancy to hers, telling me I shouldn't be throwing up and that I need to do whatever possible to keep the nutrients down for the baby, freaking out using the cell phone for some chance the baby is getting harmful rays, and freaking out if I drink soda. I just get away from her, she is doing more harm then good.
