Its all different stuff but always contains chillis, jalapenos, and tabasco sauce in healthy quantities!? 
to you all xx
in-laws and even family in general can be the worst for judging as they seem to think it's there right sometimes. Every baby is perfect no matter how they develop and you are an amazing mum! Just get A to give you some giggles if you feel a bit out numbered, will always cheer you up!
Have you talked to DH about it? Perhaps if he knows your concerns, he can be watching out for occasions in which he needs to say something. I suspect he's more than a little defensive of anyone saying his offspring is less than absolutely perfect. 
Even if he doesn't notice it, try not to think about any judgments they have of you. I know we all want to lose our jelly bellies, but it's still very soon after having given birth! Sure there are moms who lose all the weight in a flash, but that's not very common and I swear those women must be aliens. And as for judging your mothering skills, rest assured that A will be a much more well-adjusted child/adult by virtue of having a non-judgmental mum. 
With regard to their underhanded comments about A... I'd be inclined to call them on it. "All babies develop in different ways. She's perfect to me and and I'm sad for you if you can't see her that way too."

Sorry there's so much sickness going around lads.
Missy fingers crossed your bathroom is done tomorrow. It's been so bloody long! Makes sure you get your OH on baby duty and have yourself a lovely long bath!
The main reason i struggled was then nature of my shifts mean that i was missing some of the morning and evening feeds each week, and with not being able to pump, i couldn't maintain supply. If you can always make those morning and evening feeds, then its great! She's been sleeping alot and not feeding much, and when she's been awake her happy period has been much shorter. Poor little girly. The cough is horrid. She coughed last night and woke me up and i thought she was choking so picked her up and patted her back, and she just turned and looked at me with this perfect "WTF Mum?!?" look! Her eyes are producing goo at quite a rate, its rank. Not sure whether to visit the docs tomorrow or not? Roh never had gunky eyes, so its a new one on me. 
) and i'd wake up and freak out and grab him up and start shaking him (not hard of course!) and shouting at him, and he'd be all limp, then after a few seconds (hours!!) he'd just look up and peer at me, like "ok, what are we doing now? I was fast asleep?!?" 
I had that same dream with F the other night and did exactly the same thing, except she just turned towards me and gave me the most huge grin! She thinks i'm mad!! I hate those freaky dreams!
You are like 6 feet away, you could have just leaned over and sorted her out!!! Anyway, so i checked her nappy, completely clean, and rubbed her back a little, she did 3 huge burps, so i handed her to OH and told him to sort her out. Then went to run myself a relaxing bath, and he's only turned the sodding hot water off, so now there is no hot water, as he used it all to have a bath earlier! Even though i told him i wanted a bath!!! Gaaah, what a dickhead! Honestly, sometimes he's great and other times i really would like to kick him in the nuts! grumble, grumble, pity party, grumble.
As I recall, when FT was called Farttimer, she begged out of it on account of being horrified by the word "fart." 
I'm like, no way would my girlfriends and I sit and bitch at each other about where a mirror should go.
men!
