So my mum came to visit this week and i just feel her and the OH are telling me how to bring up Hollie.
I'm BF Hollie so if she cry's for a feed i give her it, if she starts sucking her hand or turing her head to the side and opens her mouth i offer her it and they say i'm wrong for just giving her what she want's when she wants it...as far as i'm concerned i dont know how much milk she is getting when she has a feed so if she wants more then she can.
They also say i shouldn't sleep with her as i will 'make a rod for my own back' as she wont want to go in her own bed as she gets older...but if my daughter wants to be close to me then she can right? she has spent the last 9 months in the comfort of my womb listening to my heart beat so if she wants to lay on me the why not?!
nd last but not least they say i shouldnt pick her up when she crys all the time because if i do then she will just think 'if i cry mummy comes and holds me' but i want her to know i will always be there.
I want to do all these thing's but they are making me feel like i'm a bad mum for doing it.
AM I WRONG?!
