post #21 of 22
Wanted to post and say wow I am impressed with you mama! Way to make a hard situation work for you and babe. Everyone has opinions not right for you, try to remember who has your back and why this is so important for the both of you despite the negativity I think you sound like a a great mama

O-M-G!!!!! Last night was soooooooooo incredibly sad!!!

MIL was holding him. Not giving him a bottle or rocking him, just holding him and playing with him. Well, he kep trying to tuck his arm under her arm and around toward her back (like when they are nursing, kwim?).

So he keeps trying to tuck his arm around her and turn towards her and "nuzzle" her and she kept pulling his arm out and facing him away from her!!!

I wanted to cry. It was all I could to do sit on my hands and not get up and take him away.

She just doesn't get it!!!

So they left this morning !!!

But get this, she tells us last night that her church is involved in prison-ministry and they've asked her to teach a parenting class to the prison inmates. I wanted to go, "who is going to teach the breastfeeding portion of the class?" But I was good...I kept my mouth shut.

Then she says they (her church) gave her a copy of a whole bunch of parenting magazines (probably mainstream) to read to help her with her class. Maybe I should go get her a subscription to Mothering!!
