Doing things wrong

My close friend keeps making me feel like I'm doing things wrong with my baby because I'm not doing it the way she did it, I'm extremely non confrontational but it's making my already bad anxiety a lot worse so how would you deal with this?

Don't worry dear that's alright because you know your baby well not anyone else infact every baby is different so trust yourself and the process and keep going on

Just don't pay attention. If I listened to every 'I did it this way' I'd be SO stressed. If she offers her opinion or advice just say 'okay thank you' and forget all about it! You're doing a fabulous job, stick to your guns, you know yourself and your baby better than anyone 🩷

Ive got this too, my stepdad keeps saying "dont you think its time to get her on a bottle and not breastfeed" like ive heard it at least 5 times, both parents think she should have a blanket and when i said no, suffocation? They said its scaremongering. Said to give her gravy at 4m old. Ive been called overprotective for telling them to stop kissing her, shes been ill multiple times and almost in hospital for dehydration. You are the parent at the end of the day, its your baby and your life. As long as you arent hurting them, do it your way and ignore the rest!

@Rachael I hate this so much like its not their baby why do they get to make you feel like that how do you tell them your boundaries? My friend has a 5 year old who keeps jumping at my baby and trying to touch their noses together and be close with her which I don't like because he has a really bad cough but if I say anything I'm the bad person, it's driving me crazy

@Amy thank you I'll do this definitely 🩷

@Gayathri I will try to thank you x

My nephews are constantly sick, in the first 3 months of my babies life they had flu twice, hand foot mouth, sickness bugs, tonsillitis and more. Yet when i dont want them kissing her face or hands im the bad one. Told my stepdad not to kiss her face, so he kissed his fingers and put them on her nose. How is this any different? You're transfering your germs to her face still. All ive done is argue with them. My sisters now give my parents and me covid, after her boys made my baby sick last week almost going to hospital for dehydration as she didnt feed or pee for 19 hours and i was force feeding her in my GPs room. Ive had enough 😂 i have to keep cancelling plans with my mom friend so that i dont get them sick as shes pregnant with a 2yr old. Its not fair and they should just accept we are the mom and thats it. My stepdad listens if my mom tells him what ive just said, but not to me
