Anyone faced the same problems as me?
I wanted to breastfeed my 2nd child who is suppose to be due in August. But noone is supportive towards this decision that I had made. My mother in law is the one who strongly disagree with me breastfeeding my child. I remember when she found out that I had been breastfeeding my 1st child for 3weeks plus, she scolded me like mad. And instead that I dont't know how to give the best to my daughter and demand me to formula feed my daughter. I thought the oldies should be able to understand the goods and benefits of breastmilk? But I was wrong, she thinks that I'm harming my daughter. And she thinks that breastmilk is not enough and doesn't have nutrients for babies. One day, a auntie happened to ask if I did breastfeed my daughter, I answered : yes, I did. Just then my mother in law overheard our conversation and scolded me in public. I felt humiliated! That auntie then immediately stopped her and explains to her that she's wrong. From that moment, my mother in law picks on me for whatever I do. And even threaten to bring my daughter away from me, and now my 2nd child away if I refuse to listen to her. My husband and I are stressed up, she doesn't listen to us. What should I do?
